Dev-Picayune

Thanks to an increasing amount of spam and not a single valid external trackback, I have decided to eliminate trackbacks. My other option was to significantly enhance the Perl (yuck) trackback system to notify me via email of a new trackback and also to flag all incoming trackbacks as hidden until I approve them (or one of many similarly themed schemes like black and white lists). But in the end, I decided that I didn’t have the time to work on them.

It appears that others like Jeremy Zawodny think trackback is dead anyway. So it just further justifies my removal of the trackback stuff (and saves me the time of trying to add it to the other two sites).
