Missing comments

I have just realised that no-one has been able to post any comments since about mid February. I thought it was nobody ever read this site any more and that all the hits I am getting were just referrer spam. But no - I had misnamed a file in an attempt to stop the spam - an overly successful attempt as I have had no spam at all!

I just looked up my SpamLookup log and it appears that immediatly I turned the comment system back on I got a spam comment attempt. Typical.
