Sheesh! I re-enabled comments and then went away on business for a week. Though I did have Internet at some of the hotels I discovered that MT-Blacklist didn’t work on the server. There were at least 800 comment spams added.

Finally, this weekend, I exported my entire blog. I wrote a Perl script to remove the offending comments and to close all commenting. I started to tediously delete all the old entries until I found that the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox could automatically populate all the delete boxes.

So, the blog is renamed and all the comments are closed. Now you commentors will have to email jservice (at) gmail (dot) com if you would like me to add your comment.
