After a few days of trying to figure out how to successfully block the spammers and at the same time manage my raging anger when faced with their bold persistence, I'm hoping I can move forward once again with a frequently-updated, commented-upon blog. The problem has been, quite honestly, mind boggling. Who do these perverts think they are? I'm going to start spamming their sites with thorough accounts of what I ate for breakfast this morning, and what I think about Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn's breakup. Well, I mean, I would if I knew how.

Speaking of knowing how to do anything useful at all, many thanks to Mike who, once again, did the work for me. He's put a challenge plugin on the blog, so anyone you wants to comment must first answer a simple math problem. Try it out. The first time I did I screwed up. Seriously.

So much for my always saying (when protesting doing my math homework): "When am I ever going to need to know how to do this in real life???"
