Yesterday's post rang up a site high of 10 comments in an hour-- all from adbots.
I don't know if spammers have spiders scraping Blogger's "recently updated" list, or that the word .s_e-x. fired up a jackpot klaxon in some dank basement somewhere. I suspect it's the latter, as the crickets and tumbleweeds have reappeared now that I've removed the offending word.
It's silly of me to get a little thrill when a comment appears, but it's pathetic to go read the comment and find out it was posted by a piece of software advertising ligitation funding. Or credit line counseling. Or "bench press tips." Or phentermine.
My imaginary friends are hucksters who think I'm financially irresponsible, possibly a felon, and fat. The bastards.

No jinx, but I have yet to be hit hard by spammers. Still, if/when it happens, I'll be digging in to Blogger -- they've recently added word verification to comments, so you can try adding that if it gets to be a big problem. I know I won't mind typing "vgeqqw" or something before I can drop my comments!
