I really hated to have to do this, but I removed the HTML capability from the comments. So you can't put HTML in comments now. I don't think that's going to be much of a problem, though, because I can't think of a legitimate comment I've gotten in the last year that's contained HTML. Every HTML-containing comment this blog has fielded for as far back as I can remember has been a spam. So the only people that are really being hurt are the spammers, which is what I was trying to accomplish anyway.
But just in case you were thinking of linking to something in the comments...sorry, you can't do it. You can always type out the link, and I'm sure the other readers and I will be more than happy to copy and paste it into a browser window.

Posted by: Rori at October 24, 2004 04:29 PMYeah, but it's an incomplete victory. On the bad side, they can still leave comments [Mr. Free Credit Report left two--I wonder how many dipshits have ruined their own credit ratings from checking it all the time]. On the good side, the comments they DO leave will be stripped of HTML and thus less likely to pop up on Google. If I ever find somebody who actually creates this spam, will you be my alibi at the murder trial?
