(*()@*)$(#@&$&
So I went to see Midsummer Night's Dream tonight after a lovely dinner at the Red House, our favorite restaraunt in Harvard Square...
and came home to a bunch of Zoloft spam on my blog. 237 entries for me to go through and delete one by one. Anger is not quite the word for it. I had a feeling I was due for it...I knew I needed to upgrade my MT and I shouldn't have waited.
Turned off all my old commenting, until I can sort everything out. I'm sorry about that. I'll keep my most recent posts open but all my old ones will be closed, sigh.
Dammit. If you want to ban the IP addy on your own blogs, here you go...IP Address:
80.142.173.87
Although I'm sure it's been changed by now.
I get nervous installing MT. I paid for them to do it last time, sigh. Guess I'll have to have them help me with the upgrade.
Friday the 13th hit me square between the eyes today...in a couple of ways. Argh.

I'm so sorry, Crystal! What a drag!

I still can't believe someone took the time to go through each and every post you've made to add that zoloft crap.
Those spamming idiots have sunk to a new low.

It's a bot, hon. It trolls websites looking for MT comments it can flood with posts. They were almost all simultaneous postings. The latest version of Moveable Type has flood control, which keeps you from posting too quickly in a row. I just need to upgrade sooner than later now. :(

Ahhh.
Even though it's a bot it's still a lousy thing to do to people's personal sites. *sigh*
So sorry it's happened to you. :( Very frustrating.
