I hate spam.  I was doing ok without any spam filter for comment verification.   I got a spam or two every day. Very manageable.   However beginning this past saturday, I’ve gotten alot more, about 30 each day.  That’s when I installed Peter’s Anti-Spam Image.   At first I just turned it on just for comments, but this morning I got trackback spam.  So I just turned in on for Trackbacks and Pings.   I’m dissapointed that I had to this because, I like trackbacks.  They are a great feature of the blogging community.   Spammers suck!
