I have no clue how you were able to write this report..it’d take me long hours. Well worth it though, I’d suspect. Have you considered selling ads on your blog? What an excellent description!

I wonder how many spam comments would be stopped if they had to be a certain length/number of characters. The longer the comment is the easier it would be to detect spam, as there's more to work with. On the downside, people would have to write more in their comments, but I think you know I already write waaaaay too much so I'd be okay.

I used to allow anonymous comments on my website until I got fed up of the spam. I might implement it again after writing some sort of anti-spam feature. Is that your first spam comment post?

On the one hand, I really don't want to undermine INSRV's efforts, but on the other, I really wanted to give working with a blog a proper go, and you can't do that without being honest, so... I don't mind the technorati thing nearly as much as the idea of someone passing the story around without mentioning it to me at all... I've noticed since posting this that all the articles say that this email was posted to thousands of students. As I mention above, that's not quite true - just to a few hundred staff. lol

Oh, and I think you already know this, but it wasn't me that did it :) (this is why I have private entries on my site that only my friends can read). There are a few obvious and notable omissions, which I alluded to earlier, but I didn't want to list them just in case ;) (not that I'd know anything about illegal torrent sites :P having never used any... ever... at all... in my entire life) That’s what you get for using WordPress instead of your own custom blog software ;) (and not examining the code).
