 * Hello everyone;
 * I have the newest wordpress release, and I am having a problem with it. I have
   it set to accept trackback notices, but NOT comments. well I still have a bunch
   of comments, and they are mostly spam, which I deleted. Mostly from blogpost.
   com sites or this place called point here or something. Has anyone else encountered
   this? Chad

 * Oh, yes. Spammer tools avoid the normal methods of commenting (that is, visiting
   posts and filling in forms). They directly access those scripts or program components
   which handle comment submission. In the case of WordPress this is wp-comments-
   post.php, found in your blog’s root directory.
 * You can safely delete this file from your setup, however if you follow the directions
   for closing comments here:

 * you should not need to remove it.
