Spam comments and the power of community

I’ve just started to suffer from Spam comments the latest effort by these wretches to publicise their sites. They basically post fatuous comments to weblogs

SharpReader

I’ve finally started paying attention to RSS and all this stuff about “Blog Aggregators”. The final shove was wanting to get Martin Roell’s English feed.

Comment spam solution
