Newsroom roiled by spam attack!

The On-StJohn newsroom was crippled over the weekend by an onslaught (three) of spam comment postings. The entire IT staff (Russ) worked feverishly (20 minutes) installing mission critical software to protect our enterprise architecture. (You know people who actually use words like this, don’t you?) Strangest thing. We did get hit with spam comments. And they attempted to post to the Bartender entry. And they were pharmacy spams with one keyword in common. The name of the drink that Michelle made: P***KIL**R. Thanks, but no thanks. We prefer ours with ice and a cherry.

    Sorry to hear about the problem. You would think
    people would be more considerate.
    I think everyone of your long time readers have
    been enjoying the new site.

    that cracks me up. NOW just make sure you don’t write about the “enlargem*nt” of the parks or the anatomically correct body parts of any fish you see as you snorkel.geesh.
