The blog is back online and this is a very appropriate comic, dedicated to the tireless few who are dedicated to spamming the internet into oblivion.

Anyone running a blog today knows that comment spam is godless, and the people sending it out desrve to die an ignoble death.

Google talks about ways to stop it here http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html and http://www.wordpress.org is offering some good ways to fix the problem.

But for right now even approved comments will be delayed for approval because of the worthless idiots spamming everything to hell right now.
