Spam in the comments
Unfortunately, we're having our first outbreak of spam in the comments. For now, I'm deleting them as I find them. But I thought it would be good to make clear why you're seeing deleted posts, and what I'm deleting.
The only thing I'm deleting from comments is true spam: "make money fast" schemes, and links to commercial websites trying to boost their google pagerank. I'm not touching substantive comments of any kind.

Well, then, let me take this opportunity to tell you how much I am enjoying your posts so far. Can I request more probablility/statistics stuff?

Try turning on comment verification. It will cut down on the spam quite a bit, although it won't completely eliminate it.

Oops. I mean try turning on "word verification."

Seriously, everyone I know of on blogger.com has had to turn on the word verification to keep the spam under control.
OT, I just wanted to say that yours is rapidly becoming one of my favorite blogs.

Another possibility is to use an outside commenting service. Haloscan, while not perfect, is easy to use and free. And in a few months of using it I have had exactly one comment spam.
