I implemented my own little turing test.  Now the comments say:  {{{  Turing Test: Are you a human? (required. Just type yes... this is for automated spam prevention)  }}}  While this wouldn't work for all blogs in the wild I'm sure it will work just fine here in my little corner of the blogosphere.

Fast, intelligent, automatic spam detector using Paul Graham style Bayesian analysis of word counts in spam and non-spam emails. Filtering adapts to personal tastes automatically. No manual rule creation required. This release adds the final missing pieces to the new parser code.  MBX files and Content-Length headers are now supported.

The latest release can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61201&package_id=73566
