Spammed

Weirdest thing. After all this time and thousands of blogs, I've been spammed for the first time. There was a comment that consisted of Chinese characters linking to what appeared to be a malicious site. Not sure what to make of it but I turned on comment moderation to protect you guys & gals from similar malicious sites, at least if I catch them, and deleted that post. I had figured that the verification letters you need to type in on comments would have prevented such things but apparently, not completely. For our faithful audience, please keep the comments coming and don't let the moderation disuade you from chiming in.

Don’t worry moderation will not dissuade this part of the audience from making boring comments. Spam comments, esp. the more intelligent ones, are really a nuisance.

Yeah, I've been hit by that spammer a few times. Those Chinese characters are links to porn. Let him pay for placing his ads. I have no problem with comment moderation.
