From the desk of Jane Galt:Why can't I make a comment, Mommy?
Because of the evil comment spammers, dear.
The comment spammers have been hitting my comments section pretty hard, locking up my host's server. The wonderful Michal Wallace, of my fantastic hosting service Cornerhost, is helping me take steps to deal with this (like upgrading my MT installation to MySQL), but until that's done sometime tonight, I'm afraid comments are off limits.
The stupid thing is that since (I believe) I'm pretty vigilant about watching the comments for spam (I'm sure they do slip by when I'm busy), all most of these #$@! succeed in doing is wasting my time and theirs, merrily sending porn-watching invitations for me to delete.
I've heard there's some way to get around this by renaming the comments script. If you know how to do this, could you email me?
