I will never understand why people (and its often the same people, over & over again) try to comment spam my site. I activated the filter before I even put up my first post, and all comments require approval. The futility of of it makes me wonder at their perseverance — do they get paid per attempt, en masse, or only for those links that go live? It makes the little demon in me want to go to other sites, and repost the junk just to see if it goes up — ’cause doesn’t everyone with their own domain have some kind of system in place? Well, obviously not, since you see garbage comments all the time, which just makes me wonder at other people’s lack of diligence — I almost blame them more than the spammers, since they obviously encourage this sort of behavior . . .
