+Spam Filtering
+--------------
+
+  In the modern world many blogs will receive comments which are
+ just spam, and not related to your content at all.
+
+  My solution to this is to use an email spam filter upon the
+ comments.  So my comments are saved to a directory, and later
+ tested automatically.  If they are non-spam they are kept, if
+ they are spam they are deleted.
+
+  You might need to do something similar for your own installation.
