Their "down from 4-4:30 pst" page seems to be lasting several days for me. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I read back through your linked post, and found them funny, especially the big butt tv one. I also saw your gigantic list of spam comments. It's like they feed off one another, each one, subject-wise, leading to the next. Insanity.<BR/><BR/>I'm okay with the word ver.Sleep Goblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11435775690231515934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394922.post-1138325558812977132006-01-26T17:32:00.000-08:002006-01-26T17:32:00.000-08:00It's all my fault for being too tired to comment t...It's all my fault for being too tired to comment these days, right?<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure everything is the fault of me being too tired. Comment spam occurs because I am too tired. The entire Bush administration exists because I am too tired.<BR/><BR/>Someday, I will get enough sleep, and the world will magically right itself. All of your posts will then get 15-20 comments, regardless of content.Phantom Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258384756183844406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394922.post-1138293875037264722006-01-26T08:44:00.000-08:002006-01-26T08:44:00.000-08:00I don't mind the word verification so much.

How bad was your spam comment problem? <BR/><BR/>If you had demographics of your readership, you could figure out if ebbs and flows coincided with the academic year. Maybe it's the economy. Or the national terror alert level. <BR/><BR/>On my own blog, <A HREF="http://outofthemist.mclo.net/archives/2006/01/brief_nudity.php" REL="nofollow">I recently reflected on why I don't tend to post comments</A>. Sometimes, I see a post on your site and it triggers me to write about something on mine. I should probably comment about it to thank you for the inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394922.post-1138275783293335922006-01-26T03:43:00.000-08:002006-01-26T03:43:00.000-08:00You are right, put the right word in and you will ...You are right, put the right word in and you will attract hits. When you typed "porn" you invited me.<BR/>No, seriously, several months ago when I searched for "Harvey Kurtzman" I found your blog and have enjoyed it almost daily ever since.<BR/>I like your laid back casual look at things and like me, you think Bush is a piece of work. Everybody likes to read what is agreeable to them.<BR/>Eddie HunterEddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155999413862242756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394922.post-1138261225154564742006-01-25T23:40:00.000-08:002006-01-25T23:40:00.000-08:00The first time is always kind of weird with these ...The first time is always kind of weird with these sorts of things, but after that, on other blogs, I found the secret: "when in doubt, use a capital!"

The forum traffic has also suffered because of it.<BR/><BR/>You'll have to figure out what you prefer to have: less comments or less policing of comments. <BR/><BR/>Don't worry though: the people who <I>really</I> love you will keep commenting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
