thanks to KP i just realized that i had blocked pretty much all of europe from reading my blog! OOOPS! i got a little out-of-control with banning IP addresses because i was getting so much spam and blocked all of the 195.*.*.* IPs. KP, though, informed me that i was blocking hundreds of thousands of people from looking at my site (AND sending me spam.. just so you know, the russian ISPs seem to be responsible for most of it as they register their companies with RIPE and then wreak havoc on me.) so, so sorry, europe! i will ban less blocks of your IPs in the future.
