Comment spam

I've just been hit by several hundred comment spams. I've been getting two or three every couple of days, but this is the proverbial straw that broke this camel's back. Excuse me while I (a) upgrade movable type, (b) delete the spams, (c) go after the spammers with a blunt knife. Possibly not in that order.

Words can't describe the anger, irritation, sheer rage at someone defacing my site like this. As if it's not bad enough to receive several hundred spam emails a day, you have to start screwing with my web site too?
