I apologize to all y'all. I'm going to turn on word verification for a while. I logged in to the blog this morning to find that someone's spammed me. All over. & it's all in Chinese, so I can't even say if it's for anything good!! =P

So, right now, I'm going around and deleting all comments by "ed". While cursing "ed" under my breath. With, guess what? =)

Have a great day. & please don't hate me for word verification!! I promise to take it away in a while.

wheels209 said...: Hi Drey
Sorry to read that you have been spammed. I saw it when I checked your blog today. A couple of blogs that I check-out each day use word verification so it does not bother me in the least. If word verification would help you keep the spam off your blog than please use it. I don't think your followers would mind. Take Care my friend. All the Best,

Mary (Bookfan) said...: I had to turn on my comment moderator for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago when Ed visited for the first time. Then the rascal has the nerve to come back (I can tell by the live traffic feed meter). He's been traveling all over the blogasphere. I'm keeping the moderator on - what a pain!; 27 April, 2009 18:51

Unknown said...: OMG! In cChinese, are you serious! That's the funniest thing ever! Not the spamming of course, that part sucks but in Chinese.; 28 April, 2009 06:25
Charley said...: Doesn't bother me in the least - if you take the trouble to comment, what's typing a few more letters. Oh, and that malware I mentioned in a previous comment is linked to a blog that you link or reference - the site readingandreadingandreading.blogspot.com or something appears to host the malware - not you! Sorry if I caused a panic.; 28 April, 2009 10:07
drey said...: lilly ~ yeah, isn't that too funny? =) I can only read a few characters in Chinese, so that spam was totally wasted on me. =D

Charley ~ I saw that. I don't know where that link is, though... I've been looking for it. =( I will have to do more digging. I LIKE chrome!; 28 April, 2009 10:11
Sage Ravenwood said...: The not so lovely Ed has made his way to a few friends blogs. When you go to check out his username you're pointed toward a porn site.

I think because he's posting in Chinese it's totally being ignored and not reported. No problem with word verification. I enjoy you enough it's not a hassle at all. Sorry Ed found his way to your blog. (Hugs)Indigo; 28 April, 2009 11:52

Bella said...: Welcome to the horrible world of spam! I have to send spam to my outbox everyday on my blog, Yuck!; 28 April, 2009 16:37
Bingo said...: I have gotten where I am afraid to open ANONYMOUS comments, especially when I look at the details and they look funny...and that is WITH word verification...yes, I am neurotic to a fault! But sorry, Drey about the S-P-A-M! I don't mind the word verification myself at all!; 28 April, 2009 17:23
wheels209 said...: Hi Drey,
I was over at Sci-Fi Guy's blog the other day and wrote a comment for him. I put the word verification in and the letters ended up in the comment box just before the word (Hi). I laughed so hard at myself for such a mistake that I kept it in the comment hoping that Doug would get a laugh out of it too. I hope your day is going well. Take care my friend have a great night!!!

annie solomon said...: Hey, Drey. Thought I'd stop in and see how you're doing. Lo and behold I discover you've been spammed. So sorry. What a PITA! Wonder what motivates guys like "ed." Trolldom. Anyway, I don't mind the verification either, so no big deal.
