kapgar, that’s the “caught” spam. So it doesn’t show up but you can check it to make sure some real comments didn’t get spammed accidentally.

I started using the “SI Captcha” spam blocker a few months ago. It’s been working great.

I’d prefer not to use it but it’s saving me loads of time.

Actually the fact that I only get a few spams a week now and 1/2 are legitimate, makes me think I was missing some caught in the spam before now…

Wow, that’s crazy! Hope it stops soon!

Holy spam!

What is wrong with your blogware? I haven’t had a spam comment in more than a year.

Diane’s idea to back up the blog is a good one. I’ll have to look into that.

That’s horrible! Just to be safe have you backed up your blog in case something weird happens to it?

Hope it stops soon!

Ugh! I am happy that didn’t happen to me! At least all of this is caught in my WordPress Spam Filter!

Amen! I was whining to Steven earlier today about this snow. I was planning on a 9-miler tomorrow!
