(This one is actually number 1002!)
I don't know that I'd quite call myself a modern-day Scheherazade, but it is a lovely image.
Schherazade probably didn't have to deal with hundreds of comment spams on a daily basis, though, which is what I'm encountering these days. It's likely I'll be turning on TypeKey authentication this week, much as I hate to do it. The built-in spam filtering capability of MT can't keep up with the onslaught from the spammers, and I'm tired of what's starting to feel like an hourly cleanup job.
Akismet really works, tell Dave Weinberger too, he is having trouble. We'll see if this makes it through, haha, my comments on Joho never do.
