I seem to have been having some trouble with spam, sent to this blog, lately. I don't know if any other bloggers I'm connected with have been having this trouble. You, Gentle Reader, won't see it. Because I've been rejecting it every time I see it. Some of it is just laughable. One idiot sent me some spam --in Russian, probably via some basement in Moscow. Or St. Petersburg. Or God-knows-where, Siberia. In any case, the stupid idiot apparently didn't count on the fact I can read Russian(though not so well as I once could), so I understood perfectly, this stupid character's "advertisement" for "sexy girls". Ugh. Nor are you going to see those wretched Viagra ads they used to send to your e-mail. I reject them all, dear, blog reader. And believe me, it's going to stay that way. But, to Blogger -- do something to filter out the crap before it gets here. It's getting tiresome.

I installed JS-Kit Comments (http://js-kit.com/) on my Blogger blog a while ago. They use spamfilters and so far I have not been bothered by any spammers yet, but that could also be because they have not discovered me yet ;-)
I haven't received any spam comments yet, but I do moderate my blog for reasons you've mentioned, Anne. So far, I haven't gotten any spam, but I think my blog is just too new.
It took a while before the spammers "discovered" me. . . .but they did. I had to add moderation to the blog for this reason(to keep spammers out, not people with legitimate comments, etc).
