A Cure For Hamsteritis
I took a closer look at MT Blacklist's blacklist, and lo and behold, the word "none" was indeed blacklisted.
Added by our very own Simon on the 26th of January.
Yay Simon!
Now none returns to your comments, good as new.
none? Simon Blacklisted "none"? Kewl! Can I blacklist "the"???? please????

Ummm...did I manage to blacklist oops too?
I've no idea how I managed to do that, unless it was in the process of trying to despam and there was no URL to block.
None is such a negative word, anyway.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at February 3, 2004 05:03 PMI have seen none@none.com as an email addy--perhaps that was it....
Posted by: Susie at February 3, 2004 05:50 PMOr maybe Simon is our Blogger Celebrity Mole. Mmmmm, conspiracy theories...

Posted by: Stephen Macklin at February 3, 2004 10:29 PMHey Simon,
When MT asks you if you have any URLs to ban -- and you have none -- do not answer "none"!!!
I learned that the hard way when I accidentally banned "what's it to ya".
(Jus' kidding.)

Posted by: Simon at February 4, 2004 07:22 AMSimon, eh? Betcha he was trying to blacklist "nun" and got confused.
Bad Simon! No fried rice in a pineapple for you!
