Spam Attacks

I am continuing to get absolutely hammered by Spam attacks. You may have noticed that, but let me assure that it is even worse than you might guess. I am getting about 10 comments an hour (or more sometimes) that are being directed toward my site and even though I have some plugins in place to combat spam, it appears to be getting worse.

I have decided to take a step to combat this by requiring that anyone who comments will have their comment held for moderation unless they have previously had a comment approved by me. I don't like to have to do this, but I feel like I have no other choice.

So, what I would like you to do is this. If you are someone who comments at this site, leave me a comment here so that I can approve you and let you comment freely in the future unabated. If you comment from more than one computer, I may have to "approve" you from multiple sites, I don't know that for sure.

If you do leave a comment here, and I hope you do, for the fun of it, finish this sentence, "SBG has an okay site, but for the love of God...." You don't have to finish that sentence of course, but have some fun at my expense. Regardless of whether you want to take a free shot, please leave a comment so that I can approve you.

Update: If your comment shows up right away that means I must have previously okayed a comment from you when I was fighting spam.
