This blog is on track to hit 10,000 spam comments stopped since it’s inception in July 2008.
The total number of spams that have passed the battery of filters? Zero. When will they learn to stop trying?
Total number of CAPTCHA’s and other things that annoy legitimate commenters? About three, over a year ago, but were quickly retracted due to being poorly received.
I’d also like to apologize for some technical difficulties that resulted in the website being unreadable (though the feeds evidently kept working) for at least a few days. It’s been corrected.

I notice it, too. I’m getting upwards of 200 a week. None get through, but some of them are almost… real.
