Posted on: October 7th, 2008 Oops.
Oh, no. My blog, like most blogs, gets lots of spam comments, which I then have to delete manually. Probably 95% of all comments to my blog are in the form of cheap spam.
Well, in my zeal to delete them all last night, it appears that I also deleted ALL the comments that have ever been posted on my blog. Which makes me sad.
Oh, well. Please feel free to contribute if you read something stimulating or encouraging.
