Hi kids.
We seem to be under some sort of spam attack. Please bear with me while I get it cleaned up and then blocked. In the mean time posting will be a little bit slow.
Update: Okay, I've deleted 130 spam comments and blocked the lowlife's IP address (81.9.106.157). We won't be hearing from them again in a hurry!
Another 40-odd spams were blocked by MT Blacklist between the time I added it to the list and the time I blocked the IP. (About 15 minutes.)

Posted by: Jim at February 20, 2004 04:25 PMI put a global block on that IP because he was sending 20 comments at a time and dragging the whole server down.
It looks like it's a deliberate attack too, and not just spam. The words are mis-spelled and the email address keeps changing to avoid the black list.
Bastards.
