I’ve been told that the spam coming from my account started up again, and so my Internet service provider has once again been forced to block comments on my blog. The blog does appear to be the source of the problem, because the spam stops when they put up the block.
So it’s starting to look as if this will be a more difficult fix than we first hoped. To people who would like to comment on my blog, please be assured that we’ll try to get it fixed soon. I hate this as much as you do. As I commented to Ashish (one of my regular readers) in an e-mail, a blog without comments is a rather sad thing.
In other news, ChessLecture has made my lecture on Curt Brasket available on YouTube for free for the rest of the month. Brasket, the 16-time champion of Minnesota, recently died and they are making the lecture available in his honor. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvKNfKFij9E.
