Cialis, Viagra and the downfall of ConleyWorld
Posted November 11th, 2008 under blog stuff, I'm more irritating than I thought, some of these guys know what they are talking about, Someone actually read this thing and cared enough to post to tell me I'm wrongOk, nothing quite so dire, but after the persistent jabs by Doug that I was censoring his comments out of spite, I finally started looking through my 600 spam comments. Much to my embarrassment, I uncovered 16 or so valid, thoughtful and much appreciated comments from friends, colleagues, and bloggers I admire.
So, first, thank you, Doug. And my sincere apologies and thanks to the rest of you: Mark, Mike, Dave, Darin, Jamie, Heather, Wrich, Timojhenand Jenny, the Bloggess.
I wanted to send out a special thanks to Traci who commented on my post “An Amazing Monkey Story”. It turns out Traci’s father wrote the story I included. It’s an awesome story well worth the read!
Now that I have my spam all figured out, I will not (hopefully) let this happen again!

Andy, since I see youre on Wordpress, you need to go get yourself the Akismet Plugin. Its extremely easy to install and get the API key for, and works perfectly. Spam problem solved!

Thanks, Faisal. I has Askismet installed at one time, but at some point over the past year, I had to disable all of my plugins and I never reinstalled it. So, these comments were flagged as Spam, but I didn’t really have any way to go in and look at the spam (read as - too lazy to reinstall Askismet and go in and look at them)

WooHoo! I can post! Thanks for looking into it Andy. And now we know why you are the manager and I’m the hotshot programmer!

I vaguely remember a comment or two not successfully posting. Do I remember which blog posts I commented on? That would require long term memory. Glad you got your spam control under control.
