I. just. got. spammed.
I was so hoping this wouldn't become necesary, but on the other hand had a feeling that with the new and fabulous commenting field, it might prove a problem along the way. It was only one, little comment spam, I'm not even sure it was a real spam - but it was enough to p*** me off and think: YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH IT! So here goes, all of you nice people out there will have seen this in some shape or form before - and for you, mean spammer - you probably have too, but I'm DEAD serious! I will not tolerate you! Therefore:
1. Any advertisment to be posted to this site, must be approved by me in advance, by writing me an e-mail with the contents of your proposed ad. The address can be found on the main page.
2. You may post the comment, endorsing your product/site/service, but I will charge you a fee of $1000 per individual comment.
3. The comment will remain on this site for no longer than 10 minutes, after which it will be deleted.
4. Payment is due one day after you've left your comment. The amount will be donated to Médecins sans Frontières, and I'm pretty sure they'll help me collect it. Otherwise my attourney-family will.
PS: Any links from fellow, not-for-profit bloggers are of course welcome. I think you know who you are, so just link away. If in doubt at all, e-mail me first.

The common ground I see is that eventually someone will exploit a comment system if it is easily scriptable and then it won't be just one comment...
Others have had success either by forcing preview or in the extreme case of not posting any comments until manually approved. Surely a PITA, but preferable to the alternative of not allowing comments at all.

Argh. Am still mad. And it's now - well, lots of hours since I saw it. But thanks for all your nice words, I sure hope this will be a once in a lifetime experience *crossing fingers - hoping - praying*
And yes, I can be very serious when the mood strikes me - but most of the time I'm very amiable:-) - or so I'd like to think anyways! I don't hope this will happen to any of you ever!

Doesn't seem like I can leave a comment on your (second!) SHF post at the moment. I'm so sorry about the spammer, but what I really want to say is how GORGEOUS your entries are, both of them. I can't wait to try the apple galette (especially since G's idea of heaven consists of any and all apple desserts), and I bet I'm going to love the Richmond Maids of Honor. My entry was fraught with peril, but I made it through, finally...
(just discovered your blog - nice one!)
