Blog comment spam

I was just saying to my hubby earlier this evening that only one person ever comments on my blog, and so I was so excited when I looked at my blog and my latest entry had two comments. Then, of course, my excitement turned to sadness when I discovered it was just some blog comment spam! Do people have nothing better to do? And who exactly do they think they are going to reach with their spam? Me and the one other person who reads my blog?????? So I have added the little word verification thing on my comments.... so, Cassy, it will take a little more effort to post your comments. ;-)
