The archives of weblogs are sometimes a pretty depressing sight. They are too often swarming with spam. Take, for example, this entry by Adam Bosworth:

http://www.adambosworth.net/archives/000035.html

That's some 2844 comments on a weblog entry for you.

(Double that with no contact information whatsoever of the author on the site. If for no other reason, have your contact information available on your site so that the casual reader might inform you about such spam problems.)

Please, please, please. Make your blogging software automatically close commenting from your older entries.
