Thanks. I report each comment spam that gets through, but it's a bit of a
waste of time to report to people who just laugh at it, and add your email
address to some lists to spam you more.

I just received 31 new comments (making the grand total 100+ for today),
shemale stories don't you love them. Anyway, they use the url shortening
service at http://s-url.net/

After 24 hrs still redirecting, so I now drop all messages using
http://s-url.net/ There is no need in a comment post for short urls.

And yes, I am aware that this is a game which will get harder and harder.
