As I understand it, Typepad blogs have been having a major problem with spam recently, and this blog is no exception – last night alone I had close to 500 spam "comments" and then several more in the past few minutes. So I'm taking steps to restrict the comment facility for the time being. Eventually the problem will be resolved and then I'll put things back to normal
I hope you get this fixed, I know it can be very annoying. I am not sure what they think can be accomplished by spamming a blog.
