Alas, almost two years of allowing comments without any barriers will have to end. Tonight I got my first taste of comment spam, with much more sure to follow.
Everyone is still very welcome to leave comments. But from now on you'll have to pass an annoying little test to prove that you're human. Sorry.
This sucks.

For what it's worth, I ran into the same problem several days ago. I put the character test in, and that stopped it for a couple of days, but last night I was bombarded again. With regret, I turned on Typekey authentication and that seems to have gotten it under control for now.

My attempt at ending the spam didn't work. I'll follow Scott's lead and tighten up the page further (sigh).

This is not too bad.
