Ack! I just found out that due to a nameserver problem mail was not being forwarded and Apache/PHP could not do name lookups as well. As a result, my blog was unable to check up with Askimet to filter spam. Result: over 50 pieces of comment spam within 8 hours!
Anyway, if you commented on my blog and it was suddenly deleted, I apologize. I just didn’t have the stomach to dig through the crap. Feel free to post again.
