Spending time every morning deleting comment spam is becoming unbearable, so it is with a gnawing sense of defeat that I’m turning off comments on all postings older than a few weeks.

Ended up using David Raynes’s mt-close plugin to perform the actual deed–a big thank you to him for creating the plugin, and as always big thanks to Jay Allen for creating mt-blacklist, which let me stem the tide for this long.
