I like having random (good) comments enough to put up with it. Also, I've actually found it moderately interesting to see how spam tactics change and evolve. It's a perverse fascination.

"plugin" smells like "work" for the non-software professional. if there's one thing I hate it's website maintainance (reason #2 why I don't already have a professional blog) and it seems like the friends I have who have independant blogs spend a fair amount of time dealing with updates and new versions and all manner of offensive spam. I'm so happy that LiveJournal does all the work for me. i don't get comment spam and they make it cute for me so I don't have to do any wacky hacking stuff. hm. I think the potential for drumming up excitement for products will eventually win out over the inconvenience, but I'm so not looking forward to setting that thing up. dealing with comment spam is reason #3 why I’m hesitant to put a blog on my professional site. “plugin” smells like “work” for the non-software professional.
