I’m back from vacation for a few days (going back tomorrow :) ), and I’ve discovered that comment spammers have found my web site. Took them long enough though. :twisted:

So I’ve decided to turn on user registration for comments. I’ll see how long it takes for the spammers to figure that out. If and when they do, I think I’ll implement the same technique used to protect my e-mail address. As far as I know, it hasn’t been beaten yet by any spam bot. :)

Of course, you can still use your OpenID.

Update (September 19th, 2007)

And commenting no longer requires registration. I’ve finally seen the light and installed Akismet. :)
