Comments turned off due to spam

In the last couple of days my weblog has been deluged with hundreds of spam comments, so I've temporarily (I hope) disabled comments.

I am completely enraged by this flow of spam - I feel as if somebody has deliberately set out to ruin my neighborhood. It used to be such a nice network before the riff-raff started using it. I hope the people who engage in this spamming overdose on their own cheap prescription drugs.
