these comments from mark pilgrim about dealing with weblog comment spam are a good healthy dose of realism. being on the opposite side of a problem from people who are willing to throw more time or money at it than you are can be an uncomfortable place to be.

(around here, all comments get emailed to me, and i can trivially delete them from within my mail client. but i could count the number of comment spams i’ve gotten without running out of fingers.)

side note: “for vcs, blogging is the next big thing” who needs vc? i got my first google adwords check last week. vegas, here i come!
