I have a bunch of entries in my blog about it. At one point I was averaging 2 an hour. It's pretty trivial for someone with a minimal knowledge of HTTP and some tools to write a bot to spam someone's comments form. It's a 2 minute job at most and waters down to posting a comment with the HTTPLiveHeaders plugin for Firefox recording the HTTP post. You take the post data, replace some minor variables, and voila! Given that, I wouldn't attribute your lack of comment spam to using a different system. You're probably just not on their radar yet. /will ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
