There comes a point in the life of all blogs when popularity gives rise to abuse. Geeklawyer feels truly pleased and honoured, ahem, that spammers have seen fit to deluge his blog’s comment capability with adverts for Viagra and teen sex.
Now, Geeklawyer likes teen sex when he can get it - sadly all too rare nowadays (not more than two or three times a month) and the Viagra helps him meet the promises rashly given to easily impressed and vulnerable young girls, the most desirable sort - but enough is enough. Fifty or more such adverts a day, whilst a remarkably generous testament to his attractiveness, are taking their toll on the administrative proclivities of your host.
He has therefore installed the Filosofo Wordpress plugin with the intent of curtailing the adventures of spam robots hitting the comments form on this blog. Time will tell whether this works or not but it’s worth a punt. The effect on you, beloved valued and cherished reader - XXX, will be hopefully minimal: when making comments you will now have to manually type in a number show to you. Geeklawyer hopes that this will cause no problems but feel free to email him if they do, or comment on this post if that is your preference. Geeklawyer will then spare no effort in ignoring you (oh alright, he won’t).
Thank you for your time and patience. Like him, you may now resume drinking …
