Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Hey, I Can Beat That Number

by Doug Mataconis @ 10:42 am on November 4, 2007.

Raymond notes that he’s gotten over 100,000 spam comments at A Think Tank For One.

Heck, that’s nothing.

As of this morning, Askimet has captured 214,158 spam comments here at Below The Beltway.

So I win !

Or something like that.

    How do you know who the spammers are?

    David,

    With Askimet you an see IP Addresses, but given that most of the spam is probably sent via computers that have infected with a worm or something similar, it really doesn’t tell you much of anything.

    Also, it looks like your blog is hosted on Blogger correct ?

    I don’t think there’s a version of Askimet that works over there

    A dubious “win,” to be sure, Doug.
