comments enabled again
Thanks to the wonderful and proactive sysadmin
dean comments are
enabled again on this blog. We'll see how long
it takes the spammers to work around
this defense (renaming mt-comments.cgi).

testing!
Hi,
The spammers are now able to easiliy find the new name for your comment.cgi by a bot that gets it from your comment form. So if this method doesn't stem the tide of spam, that's why. Changing the cgi name used to help, but in the last month it hasn't made a difference to my blog, which is why I've gone to other methods (MT-Approval Plugin).
