Whatever happened to Blogger Spam filtering?

For a while it was almost o.k. and I thought I'd trained it sufficiently that I could relax a little but came by today to check (yes, I know) and found 100 absolutely clear spam messages waiting for moderation.

For the record, I hate spammers, I will not allow them to post their garbage on my page even though it destroys any chance of meeting new people or forming a community of like minded readers by preventing real people from commenting...

Quite simply I will suicide the blog rather than give in to them.

So back off you bastard fake boot sellers, snake oil merchants and faux sex aid manufacturers.

And Google, I know you can do it, so do it for me, please.
