I had turned CAPTCHA off in dasBlog, as it was acting flaky running under a .NET 2.0 web site. I expected some spam to creep in, at which point, I'd deal with it. I've been out of town this week, and more or less off line. I just got back to find that I now have 1000's of spam comments! Conveniently, dasBlog stores the comments separately from the content (in the dayfeedback.xml files), so cleaning up is not that big a deal - just find the big ones (50k as compared to the usual 1k) and delete them.

But, I guess it's time to deal with the problem and get this working consistently under .NET 2.0.
