Bugger it

I have suspended posting to this journal until I  find another weblog service that can deal with spam, or Bravenet manage to figure out how to fix the problem.
I am currently getting in excess of 30 spam comments each day, and am tired of deleting them.
Anyone out there any suggestions about a blog provided that will filter spam comments better?
4 insight(s) from (a) great sage(s).

Is that just an animated image, or is it an anti-Spam tool cleverly disguised as an image? If so, will it be used in the next James Bond film?

I'm very strongly reminded of what I did when some type of drug dealer tried to advertise in my Guestbook:

Editing entries is fun...

OK, someone has found a way of dealing with the spammers:

lb246530.bravejournal.com

Check the entries from the 15th and 16th of this month.

But that's not all! I have a deliciously evil plan for getting back at the spammers!

Since the author of that blog has found the spammer's emails, let's sign them up to recieve every type of "great offer" "fun cartoon" and "entertaining newsletter" that we can find.
