Who Can Really Say?

Thanks to the Wunderbabes that host this site, I'm in the process of implementing a Moveable Type plug-in that will result in closing reader's ability to comment on or trackback to entries older than 14 days. I generally keep entries on the main page for 14 days, so now when they drift off to the archives, they're closed.

In the last six months or so I've probably received a thousand or more comment and trackback spam. My benefactors have already installed the MT Blackist, which I highly recommend, and which works equally well on comment and trackback spam. And they've also taken measures to stop bots from putting the stuff up here. But the onslaught continues, and given the relative quiet of these environs, I don't expect to receive much hate mail in response to the change.
