I like the way anyone can leave a comment regarding my posts-- the only good discussion is a two-way discussion-- but the comment spam is getting way out of hand (viagra, gambling, penis enlargement, ad nauseam). Thank goodness, then, for MT-blacklist, a simple anti-spam plugin for Movable Type.

This is a companion discussion topic for the original blog entry at: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/08/comment-spam.html

Also, a way to obfuscate email addresses and still have them show up as clickable HTML links:

For some reason they spam this entry a lot.
