two questions

1. I recently discovered that bots have been spamming my guestbook with text ads for sites selling Xanax and crap. I deleted those entries and I've put in code so there can't be usable html in the comments field. Then this morning I had three e-mails (I'd written the code to begin with that makes it e-mail me when an attempt to make an entry fails) and there were three failed attempts all in a short span of time. Could it be that the code that turns html into plain text has prevented the bots from posting? I would have thought the result would be that I'd just have to delete the bot entries but at least their links wouldn't work. I tried doing a test entry myself and it worked fine. Odd.
So the question is: has anyone else had experience with this sort of thing?
2. Where did everybody get the Harry Potter PowerPuff Girls icons? Those are cool.
2b. Look at my new Snape icon. I colorized the picture from the book. Isn't it nifty? Except in retrospect, it sort of looks like he farted and set something on fire. But he didn't. It might look better without the smoke. I just love the smudgy tool.
