On Vacation Today - A Little Blog Maintenance

Published 10 December 07 11:22 AM

Yea - so in answer to your first thought, I agree - I shouldn't be doing this on my vacation day.

That said, out of random curiosity, I took a look today at all of the spam comments that were sent but never posted to this blog.  In the past month, I had around 2000.  I went through and cleaned them up, but wow - if this is typical (which I'm assuming it probably is), then let's say that gives this blog about 20 spam comments per post, per month.  Also, keep in mind that my blog is small by comparison in terms of my posting frequency.  All in all, it just makes you wonder how much space is taken up in these management databases with junk.  If any of you happen to manage one of these databases, could you post a legit comment with some statistics?
