The Brand Autopsy blog has been getting smacked with spam recently. And since I'm traveling a lot these days, I've turned on the Comment Authentication function to help curtail spam comments. Sorry to add an extra step in the commenting process. Hopefully this is a temporary thing.

As a marketingologist with the Brand Autopsy Marketing Practice, I give companies “Second Opinions” about the business and marketing activities they are currently doing or considering doing.
"Hopefully this is a temporary thing."
It's not, and I doubt that anyone who reads and/or writes blogs these days is surprised or bothered by the extra step.
Unfortunately, most of the added hassle will be yours in having to manually do what used to happen automatically.
Keep up the good work!

Man, I trackbacked one of Seth Godin comments-and I got about 8 or 9 spam comments on just that one post I did. I hate spammers! I'm going to try a plugin for wordpress which is what I'm using, but good grief!
