Every post I put up gathers a &#8220;comment&#8221; within minutes or hours from someone like &#8220;Энрико&#8221; with a link to some .ru web site. For some reason Akismet hasn&#8217;t figured out yet that these are spam, and they&#8217;re the only comment spammers who consistently get through the filter. I hope they or WordPress can get this invasion under control.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;ll just await the Russian Spambots on <em>this</em> posting. Three&#8230; Two&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>:</p>
<p>That took under twenty minutes. Those bots are fast. If you speak Russian, can you tell me what the heck <a href="http://www.krauzen.ru/" target="_blank">this blog</a> is about? I hope it isn&#8217;t, uh, &#8220;romance novel&#8221; material. Of course, now that I&#8217;ve actually <em>linked</em> to them there&#8217;s no telling what&#8217;s going to happen.</p>
