Not amused

shewhomustI have just deleted 29 pieces of comment spam - that's not the total for the day, it's just the overnight accumulation. This is getting silly.
I don't want to ban anonymous comments: every now and then I get a response - sometimes on a very old post - which tells me something, or makes a connection. I like the idea that my posts are messages in bottles, bobbing about on the internet, and sometimes one comes to land.
And I don't want to close comments on the half-dozen posts which are the main targets. For the same reason, and also because they have genuine comments, which are now, in my mind, part of the original post. I don't want to lose those.
But I'd cheerfully set criteria to mark comments for automatic deletion: more than three links, say, or any mention of Ugg boots.
If anyone from LJ's technical side reads this, could you take a break from tinkering with my friends' page, please, and fix something which IS broke, instead?
