Any time you feel inadequate because of blog comment spam on your blog, just remember that Microsoft's TechNet blog comments are overrun by spam and they're a quintillion megabuck corporation, so cut yourself some slack, please.

@djsundog Since I started using disqus, maybe five, six years ago, I don't think I've received a single spam post, across several moderately high volume sites.

I dislike giving up technical control, but I figure it's an acceptable trade-off for the hassle saved. And I HATE spam.
