In the latest migration to a new virtual private server, some of the links to images in the earliest posts to this blog were broken. If you encounter one of these broken links, please let me know. I have backups and can restore the images.
There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

After Akismet screwed me over months ago with a systemic failure I just went to WordPress functions for screening by number of outbound links and keywords. Plus, if you’re going to post a comment you have to be moderated once and only once if you’re on a static ip and use the same name and e-mail, they can both be anonymous. That has worked. The spammers aren’t as imaginative as I am so writing my own block signatures based on their handy samples has worked.

I have a long list of exclusions in my WP “Discussion” settings. They have been rock-solid.
Unlike you, I have not had any problems with Askimet, at least, not yet. I used to have a simple captcha thingee, but Askimet worked so well I did away with it.
