You get so many comments, if that works for you it is a good option!<br /><br />Hi again Aleks: Yes, there is a creepy spammer moving amongst us. Its one thing to get spam in a comment, another that they were able to post on Maggie's Blog, and were pfishing for her identity information too. And when Robyn said she would sometimes get 100 spammer comments - well that's enough to up the security right there!Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-35632253642795266592010-01-31T11:50:07.336-08:002010-01-31T11:50:07.336-08:00Well,after posting comment on your blog I got my v...Well,after posting comment on your blog I got my viagra spam too,grrrrr...<br />And that after changing my password.<br />It seems the cyberwar is going on.<br />Ill check my blogs more often and I think that all the old links of inactive blogs are possible weak spots,I do have to do some cleaning.<br />Bye,AleksandraAlekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07514059217994184072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-21964988729754757962010-01-31T11:42:36.659-08:002010-01-31T11:42:36.659-08:00I moderate all my comments except on the three mos...I moderate all my comments except on the three most recent posts.

(I used to get more than 100 messages at a time) Eventually they stop doing it because they can't win. Every comment already on must be deleted because as each commenter stops to leave a comment this thing latches on without you being aware of it and it will then start on your blog spreading like wildfire.<br />I couldn't get hold of blogger either so joined the forum and left a message. In the mean time Mansuetude emailed me about her friends experience. I didn't change any passwords. They do end up in my email inbox from time to time but I delete them without opening them and eventually those stop too.<br />Soooo frustrating!!!ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-22425938296510962342010-01-30T21:17:58.587-08:002010-01-30T21:17:58.587-08:00Hi Keri: I need to do the facebook thing.
