45 quarantined spam comments nuked over Christmas …
Guys (and, most likly, Gals as well), while I do appreciate your interest in my blog, would you kindly understand that multiple levels of automation, paired with human control, really makes it kind of useless to try to spam-comment here? Don’t have me drone-drop “you were naughty!”-bombs on you …
