Ellipses

For the past couple of weeks, anyone who has tried to post comments with ellipses have been blocked by MT-Blacklist. Whoops.

The way MT-Blacklist works is that for any spam e-mails that happen to get past its blacklist, I have the option of clicking on a “De-spam this comment” link when a copy of the comment arrives in my e-mail.

That then deletes the comment, and extracts all URL strings, asking me if I want to block any further comments with that string. I normally just click “Block” without even looking at them. One URL string from a couple of weeks ago happened to be just “…” D’oh!

Sorry about that.
