Comments are now a PITA, but pitas are tasty!

Hi all, the spambots have found me. I don't want to go to Haloscan and lose all my old comments, so instead I have enabled a feature that forces you to type in garbled words in order to post. Thanks to the unknown blogger who had this feature enabled so that I knew Blogger was now offering it! :)

    That's pretty smart, blog spam is the worst.

    I was thinking about doing that too. Let me know how it works out.

    Right on Jurgen. Right on.

    My blog is about bird's nest fungus. And how to bypass word verification technology.

    I know, not cool. :)

    I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I have seen this on another site and couldn't figure out what it was, but now I know. It was a stupid pol stumping to be re-elected. I hope it will stop. Lovely photos, btw. It sounds as if you had a nice weekend.

    I was having a lot of comment spam with Blogger, but since I have moved to my own host and started using Movable Type I haven't had any. I wish these jerks would just quit the spamming already, though!

    I may have to do this as well. I've been hit w/lots of spam comments, etc. I was going to switch to no anon comments, but that may inconvenience people & they won't bother commenting!
