Sorry to all of you reading this with one or another RSS readers watching various entries appear and disappear and reappear. I was just attacked by a spammer selling US Government Grants. Who knew?
This is a result of my 15 seconds of fame: when Crooked Timber tells the world about you, the Government Grants guy hears, and posts a comment to every single entry. So I spent the morning cleaning up the carnage, and then installing MT-Blacklist (after trying to get Scode working and deciding--after a number of false starts--that it wasn't worth it.)
(I am fascinated, by the way, that there is an entire genre of spam dedicated to improving rankings on Google.)
