After receiving a barrage of comment spam over the weekend (some of it addressed to Jane, as in “Nice site Jane!”), I have disabled open commenting. One must now be logged in as a subscriber to comment. Conveniently, no one is allowed to register as a subscriber. Problem solved.
If any of my two or three readers would like to post comments, please email me.
Recently I have been deluged with comment spam in which the spammer first praises my humble website, and then inserts links to various fraudulent and bogus addresses. A typical example (links removed):
Great website! Bookmarked! I am impressed at your work!
tramadol 50 mg | clonazepam | ambien experience | phentermine | clonazepam | “valium online” | hydrocodone without prescription | diet pills | estradiol | buy hydrocodone online no prior rx needed | adipex | bontril | buy valium | ionamin | betting | ambien sleep aid | ambien CR, lunesta | hydrocodone | tamiflu | valium |
This is obviously nothing more than attempted spamdexing.
