Comment spam has driven me to this

Due to large amounts of automated comment spam, and then a bill from my ISP for exceeding my monthly bandwidth, I'm turning off commenting on my blog. If you want to post a response to something I wrote, you can either refer to my feed on Livejournal or send email to whothrowsashoe-at-gmail.com.

I'm frustrated that I've been forced to do this, but I can't afford larger bills every month for a feature that isn't really working well for me anyway.
