Fighting the Wave of Putrefaction

I apologize if you've experienced any difficulties with the site, particularly with leaving comments. I've been doing battle with the largest and most vile wave of comment spam that I've experienced yet.

Comments should now be operational again.

(N.B. — Just so you know, my strategy when things get to be too much is to blacklist the term ".com"; if your comment is rejected, try deleting any instances of that term.)

We at "The Speculist" were hounded by Spam into a pay account with MovableType.

I'm surprised your anti-spam code hasn't cut down on the problem.

Stephen,

What frightens me is that the anti-spam code probably is "cutting down" on the problem!
