Body: As you can imagine, a top-notch web site like mine gets a lot of traffic. Sometimes those people leave me comments. Usually to tell me I’ve typoed the name of a Netcast, or that I’m flat out wrong about something. The important thing is that they care enough to leave comments. There is another, darker, evil group of people that leave comments on my blog. Spammers. We hate them. To discourage spammers from leaving comments on my blog I’ve taken two steps. First, I require a valid date to be entered for a comment to go through. Second, I require each comment be lovingly approved by yours truly before it shows up. That way if a spam comment sneaks through I can delete it before it shows up. It also gives me the opportunity to edit out any unflattering things that might accidently get submitted. Together I think these do a pretty good job of keeping the riff-raff out. There is one downside to all these hoops, when I submit my own comments in reply to other comments I have to approve them...
