Shit don’t worry about that Matthew! They weren’t going on the site, I just had to delete them from the control panel and I could just as easily have put off that job until I got home. Just an annoying nuisance to see all those spammy comment notifications in my inbox. Now that I haven’t gotten a single one since I turned captcha on, it seems so quiet around here alla sudden! It was so weird, most of them were obviously coming from the same robot but it was always from a different IP, and there was never a single URL in common that I could use to ban them from my site. I couldn’t even figure out what they were trying to shill for! Maybe their robot’s just broken.

Captcha stands for: Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart

I feel like I let you down a little bit during the whole spam wave. I helped a little bit, but I didn't even know it was such a deluge. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Dang, sorry you’re not feelin’ so hot Laura! I meant to call you yesterday to see if you wanted on the list but things got too crazy and I plumb forgot… :-(

I haven’t heard of Little Wings, will check that shit out…

I'm not a spammerbot I'm a HUMAN BEING! A very ill bum-gutted human being! Sorry I missed the big show at the Old Town School! I ate something strange and possibly rotten? that is now killing me (still!) but my dizzy head is now happily listening to some Lanterna! it's pretty lush!

ps. have you heard of Little Wings? I am his superduperfan! and yours too, natch.
