Blog Comments
Just a quick note to say that some comment posts from my dear readers are being mistakenly caught by my anti-spam plugin and buried with hundreds of daily spam comments. This is getting out of hand and frustrating not only for me but for anyone who spends valuable time writing a comment just to find it disappear.
To solve this issue, and the issue of comment spam all together, I have decided to turn comment login on, which means that if you want to submit a comment, you will have to register first. I know this will bring the number of readers willing to leave a comment considerably down. But at least, this will make sure that your comment will not be “lost in spam”. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Here is my blog’s spam harvest for the weekend:
Most of the spam comments start with:
- Very good site. Thanks for author!
- Your site is very cognitive. I think you will have good future.
- Great website! Bookmarked! I am impressed at your work!
- HI! I love this place!
And then followed by tens of links to you know what…
What have I done to deserve such love from spammers? 
I’m sure I’m not alone.
Thank you Akismet.

Spam is a disease. It spreads like a disease. There is email spam, blog comments spam, and now Frappr spam. The Oracle Bloggers Frappr Group, and for the first time since its creation, has been hit with spam. Luckily I caught it early and deleted the spammers and their messages. So, to protect the group against spammers, I have turned on membership moderation. I have done the same for the Adobe MX bloggers group.
