we've got a troll

In case any of you were wondering about those obscene and insulting comments that briefly appeared in a couple of the recent posts here, that's some guy named Alex pretending to be me (and other?) commenters. I'm working with mozillaZine to get the guy banned (IP banning is a bit tricky with how they have MT set up) so in the mean time, if you see a comment from one of the regulars here that just doesn't seem to fit (especially if it's full of obscenities or insults towards other regulars here) then just ignore it. Thanks for your patience and we should have this little annoyance cleared up soon.

You would be a prime canidate for TypeKey, the authentication service from SixApart that'll integrate with MovableType 3.

Asa, while we're speaking of spam (in this case, p0rm$p@m), I just noticed some in the last comment of article http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=3150

Thanks Robert. I've cleaned it up.

Why reinvent the wheel with TypeKey?
