\"spam\" <\/div>\n

Getting hit pretty nastily over the past few days by spambots here — not that anything has actually made it to the live pages, but my “junked comments” and “junked trackbacks” listings are long and nasty-looking — various kills from the SpamBlocker plug-in for MT and from scripts trying to bypass the TinyTuring<\/a> text CAPTCHA.  And I have AutoBan<\/a> blocking things on an IP level based on the junking filter — and that’s generating lots of access errors in the site error log.<\/p>\n

All of which leads to occasional performance snafus around here, but the shields are holding and my animus toward the spammers remains unabated.<\/p>\n
