MT comment spam
I see that MT has hired Jay Allen, the original comment anti-spam king as a product manager. Good job! His latest post about the subject, though Movable Type Publishing Platform: Comment spam load issue is totally lacking in practicality. He suggests that the solution to comment spam is dynamic templates. That is also the road to a low google page rank. Google can't index dynamically generated pages well. The whole purpose of a blog (search) is hosed. come on guys, find another solution.

I didn't suggest that the solution to comment spam is dynamic templates, but instead that using dynamic templates would save your server until we could get a release out that would fix a serious performance problem. Luckily, the bugfix version has been released so no need to do anything but download.
Also, Google indexes dynamic pages just fine and, in fact, doesn't even know the difference between dynamic and static pages. What Google DOESN'T do is spider pages with URLs that have GET query strings.
