WTF with the comment filter?

I tried to post a comment on my own blog this AM and I got the following nastygram: "Comment could not be posted because of questionable content:a"

Ok, I'm paraphrasing the response, but since when is the letter A offensive? This isn't Nathaniel Hawthorne's Puritan New England and I'm not Hester Prynne.....

Also, there weren't any single "a"'s in the comment. I didn't use it as an article.

1 I had that problem, too. I found it and fixed it.

2 If someone blacklists "a", any instance of the letter "a" will cause your comment to be blocked.

Try not to blaclist the letter "a", people!

3 I've hacked the blacklist routine so that it won't accept anything less than six letters long, which should avoid most accidents.

P.S. I really, really hate Perl.
