Dear Friends, I love getting comments, I really do, but I have been getting a rash of junk lately. It has been in several different foreign languages and I'm not quite sure what they say. It is most distressful. Having said that, I will be moderating the comments for a while.
Also, I would love to reply to many of your very nice comments but there is not way to contact you. Your blogger email addresses are set to no reply so I can't answer your questions of thank you for your comments.

Most of the comments on my blog, Barbara, are also noreply. I simply don't understand it because I get so many nice comments and conversations from my "reply" folks as I do from the noreply folks. I wonder if some of the 'noreply'ies maybe don't know how to do their settings. Hugs!
I recently had one of those comments left on my blog written in a foreign language. It was a link to what looked to me like it could have been a porn site. I deleted it and haven't had any more since.
I've been having a lot of what looks like Russian comments that also look like they lead to a porn site. My spam filter has been catching them and I delete them. If it keeps up, I'll eventually go into my control panel on my host and block them from even accessing the site. I hate to do that because I'm not sure if it will block a large block of readers or just that one spam.
sorry this is happening to you - but I also started having to moderate my comments after getting hit by some spammers. It's cut back a lot from when I first started having to approve them... only about 1 a week now.
it may help if you turn on the word verify-er option. ;)
love the Be Attitudes blocks that you are sharing ;)
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
I can relate. I've been getting daily spam in Japanese for a number of weeks now. None have been, or will be, published, so I don't know why they keep it up. But it does make me appreciate comment moderation!
I get a lot of junk, too. The foreign comments are typically porn, so I delete them. I've even had links to purchase term papers recently... on a parenting blog. As if...
I have not forgotten about sending you your prize package. In fact, I have it all gathered up and ready to be packed up to mail. My apologies for the delay. I won't even try to make excuses other than my own general laziness. I hope you will forgive me... I'll be mailing it this week.
