The blog has obviously been fairly quiet recently, and the reader numbers are edging lower as a result. I hadn’t been having to do much work on the despamming front either, which made me think that perhaps the amount had let up. Apparently not. In the first 4 days of the month the blockers caught over 11000 attempts to visit by banned customers. The most aggressive was from the IP address 195.225.176.55, and I’d highly recommend banning him as soon as you can.
