Doggone it! I purposely set up my blog so anyone could comment. I took away word verification so everyone could leave comments more easily. Then I went in and deleted 75 or more posts from the past year.

All comments left on posts are sent to me by email; a nice way to keep up with them. Lately I'm getting funky comments on deleted posts, containing creepy po*rn*o comments. I can't even go into Haloscan and delete them since the posts don't exist anymore???? They don't show on my blog because the post doesn't exist, but I keep getting them in my email account.

So unfortunately I've had to switch to allowing comments only by registered commenters. If you're one of the ones out there who routinely leaves comments but doesn't blog, you can still register (it's easy I promise) and then leave comments. You could, for example, register yourself as "Purple Shoes", or whatever.

If anyone out there can tell me why this is happening, I'd sure appreciate it. If you can also tell me what to do about it, that would be even better. I hate disallowing anonymous comments. I like knowing I'm accountable out there. If I post something that you really disagree with, or maybe I need to see another side of it, and you're not quite brave enough to put your name, I'd still like you to be able to speak your mind.

I just don't need to buy any of the strange contraptions, pills, toys, books, videos, etc. they keep advertising in my yahoo account. It's beginning to creep me out.

Help, please?
