Why haven't I fixed the comment problem that's been plaguing the Wombat File? Because I can't get MT 3.2 to download. I'm in a one-question-one-answer ("Try clearing your cache" "OK, now try deleting your cookies") per 24-hours cycle with the courteous people at Sixapart, because I'm only on my personal email and computer in the later part of the evening.

I should clarify -- my problem is that Sixapart/MovableType want me to log in via TypeKey -- which I do, over and over again, only to be put into an endless "you must log in to TypeKey" loop. It doesn't tell me it didn't accept my login - on the contrary, it does. But when I try to do anything it just sends me back to a "please click here to log in" page. Firefox or IE, day or night.

Some questions for the web-application savvy among those of you keeping up with our pathetic little drama:

1. Am I cursed?

2. Is there another way I can get ahold of the blessed 3.2? Or -- and I fear that this is likely -- is Typekey account access going to be part and parcel of maintaining said version? If so, there's not much point in going that way until this is resolved.

3. Is there another application I should be considering? WordPress? Should I suck it up and get something unfree?

4. How, in my new world, should I deal with comment spam? The Typkey authentication route? Renaming my directories in such a way that the bots don't find them?

I welcome any and all input. Since the comments are not likely to be working (though I'll leave them open and hope), I'll have to ask you to email me as well with any kind suggestions.
