Spam? Where?

Well not here… When I decided to let the comments be free, I knew that I would be inviting a lot of spam, but I was hopping that it would not be a problem… silly me…

So far I have received 452 spam comments. The cool part is that none of it actually made it past my little spam filter, namely Akismet! Thanks a million Akismet for keeping this blog open to everyone.

Interestingly, my e-mail has been getting a lot of spam and I wonder how can a simple spam engine on a blog be more efficient than the professional spam filter I have installed for e-mails (I won’t say its name). I never had to setup any special things for Akismet, just the initial setup procedure and it has caught some amazingly smart worded spam!

More interestingly, all the spam started when I talked about Spam Wars in this blog… it’s like the spammers want to punish me or something… (this is the part where we laugh…)
