 * Hello,
 * This is my first post with you guys :). Anyway yesterday I have been getting 
   tons of e-mails regarding WordPress Comments. They are all from the same person
   with the same ip. Please note he keeps changing the third numbers and sometimes
   the last numbers on his ip address. This person keeps spamming saying Great Job,
   I bookmarked this, Great site, etc. All on the same post! How can block this 
   person from my website?
 * Best Regards,
    Nick

 * If I remember correct, you need to have registration in wordpress.org. When you
   log in into your account you will find this key. I thin there is exact explanation
   for this if you look in google.
