For some reason every single comment has required moderator approval since yesterday. Perhaps it’s because we keep getting innocuous-looking spam comments like this:
From: Xxyz
Website: BETTERSEXNOWWW.comzInteresting post..
Can’t say I really agree..
I guess we can’t agree on everything, right?
It looks like people are actually taking the time to type in spam comments manually (a phenomenon that C. Buddha noticed some time ago). If the spammers can manage to make their URLs look innocent as well then a vague comment like that might get past even my honed spam-radar senses.
So in closing, if you don’t see your comment right away, don’t worry! It will appear shortly because I usually manage to check the blog at least once every 2 hours. Yes, I am obsessed.

have you tried this? http://akismet.com/
I noticed the same thing a while ago too, but they always got caught by akismet… it should be built in to wordpress 2.0 as well.. you just need to get a key by creating a free blog at wordpress.com
