Not only does it make a good captcha but it also means only people who know calculus will be commenting on his blog! Now that is good!

One blogger blogged about another blogger having this equation as the math question: 2x^2+3x-9=0. I thought it comical. http://honestknowledge.com/warriorblog/damnit-calculus/ I think the captcha and the math question is a good idea, especially if you have a list like I do.

That's what I was doing in Sep 06 and didn't really think about "putting it out there." I didn't put it out there until a little encouragement from others. My first posts were: Question and then an Answer -- basically notes to myself. Some people might be using their blogs as a private reference.

Out of the four items, i cannot stand the subscription part. It is absolutely ridiculous unless i love the blog very much. As for google login, captcha, math question, they are all ok for me.

It makes me laugh when I find a blog with very low traffic numbers and multiple comment hurdles. My spam comment numbers are now over 1K a day. Akismet catches 99% of them for me and it is a trivial matter to clean up the rest. Indeed. It makes me laugh when I find a blog with very low traffic numbers and multiple comment hurdles.

I think for most blogger's with average traffic it's just as easy to moderate a comment later if it's spam, but you don't put off good readers and commentators.

So, the blog authors still feel the need to moderate the comments one by one. My guess is that blogspot hosting does not come with spam catcher eg. spamkarma2 or akismet.

BTW: I removed the nofollow tag, so feel free to comment away for a free backlink.

I also dislike having to fill out 2 captchas on blogger blogs that do allow non Google comments. The NBC Heroes site has problems on its own. You would think if you were going to tell people they could watch episodes online, NBC would at least have it working first. Almost as bad as not having a server ready for a Super Bowl ad. I agree!
