Apologies, but I've recently had a spate of comment spam so I'm turning on comment moderation while I try to deal with the sources, all of which seem to be for various brands and pharmaceuticals. I hope it can be temporary. If anyone has any suggestions for avoiding this sort of spam on TypePad blogs, please do pass them along.

Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
Just don't click on the dratted links that show up on the dashboard! But you no doubt know that already...

Oh no! I spend a great deal of time thwarting those pests, sorry to hear that they are bothering you. You have obviously been added to the spammers list. Blogger has a folder for spam in comments, all I need do is flag any that do get through and they are henceforth all recognised, not sure about TypePad but I'll check it out when I'm in the office next...
By the way, some of the so-called pharmacy links are infected with malware so please, never be tempted to click on them out of curiosity

Julia, I'd be grateful for any help you can give! I feel like I've been invaded.

One thing that helps is disabling comments on posts over two weeks old. I'm having trouble posting comments to my own blog and have no way of knowing if other commenters are having problems too. Type Pad is aware of the problem.
