that that that that that

David Foster Wallace says in The Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus:

It so happens that you can occupy a bright child for most of a very quiet morning by challenging her to use that five times in a row in a single coherent sentence…

(Bold emphasis mine.) I consider a “bright child” in DFW’s world to be an adult with above-average intelligence in my world, so why don’t you all give it a shot? You may want to think of your answer before looking at any comments.

I’ll update with the answer in a day or two.

I see the pre-teen nudist spam has already arrived. Is there an Akismet plugin/module for Drupal?

Hey, is there a way to let me get an account or some such so I don't have enter my name and email every time (it's not being saved like it is in WordPress)?

Ingen Angiven | Mon, 07/02/2007 - 4:58am

There is: http://drupal.org/project/akismet

Maybe I'll try setting that one up later tonight.

And here's one for preserving anonymous comment info:

http://drupal.org/node/67414

I'll set that one up as well, and it will be included in Drupal 6.

I agree. This is weirding me out. CM did you get a lot of/any spam before. Do you forsee getting more or less now?

The Rodenator | Mon, 07/02/2007 - 11:45am

Also, did you have your name listed on the site before?

The Rodenator | Mon, 07/02/2007 - 11:45am

I got tons of spam, but it was pretty much completely filtered out. Like any site with anonymous comments, I will continue to get tons. I turned on the akismet filter, which I think will probably work pretty well. Worst case scenario, I'll require the typing of a word before you can post a comment, but I'm hoping we won't have to go there.

My name wasn't there before, but it wasn't a secret either.

I am guessing it is something less than penetration but more than heavy petting.

Hey, I need a comments RSS feed... where did that go?

RumorsDaily | Thu, 07/05/2007 - 6:13pm

Oh, I need to set that up. Soon.

Request: the comment feed does not indicate, in my reader, which post each comment is coming from. Can you change the title to indicate the post?

RumorsDaily | Fri, 07/06/2007 - 3:07pm

Done.
