Anyone using the blogs?

Just wondered if anyone is actively using the blogs part of the site? I have to delete around 100 spam blog posts per day, rather than doing productive things. If people are using the blogs, then that's fine (it becomes productive!), but if not, I'd rather disable the blogs (keeping old content, of course).

Thoughts?

I take it that's the part

I take it that's the part where we are offered handbags, penis enlargements/reductions, slimming tablets, and a vast array of other items which the average geologist doesn't even know about, far less actually require.

Personally, I think that could go. It only seems to be used by these people who have nothing better to do, and uses the space that makes the site go wobbly at the end of the month.

We can still get on here to post can't we?

Well, thats a good reason

Well, thats a good reason not to wear jeans and a tee shirt.  I trust you ditched the hammer as well, but retained the hand lens because theres some interested stones in churches and cemeteries!

The blogs can go

The blogs can go as far as I'm concerned, I never read them, and if I want an enlargement I can look at the spam in my emails.

Oh, and congratulations on getting hitched Jon.  I'm assuming it's a recent event?

Ummm.... In hindsight and

Ummm....

In hindsight and based on all the daily SPAM, please don't remove the blogs. They apparently kept the spammers at bay.

My goodness, I hope you'll be able to get it under control.
