Giving PHPWebhosting.com the final fuck-you
Thanks to everyone who offered advice on how to perform a wholesale deletion of comments from Movable Type. I eventually figured it out - all I had to do was modify the Export template by removing the MTComment tags. The server no longer choked on the database of 150,000 comments, and I was able to rebuild the Export text file with no problems.
If you ever experience the same issue and would like more details on how I removed the comments, just shoot me an e-mail.
Anyway, I'll be moving the site over to Typepad in the next few days, so bear with me. See you then.

Hey man--just found your site on malcontent's site. I'm kinda new to the gay blogosphere; looking for good dailies to read. :)
Looks like a cool site. I look forward to reading more.
Oh, and BTW--I have that Amy Grant album. [embarrassed grin]

I wonder if I'll be approved?
Its a shame that the spam world is getting so out of hand that you have to go through all this shit.
