played with Blogger API , deleted some comments...

Im currently looking at the Blogger API so I can produce a deletion utility to remove my recent spam attack.

I had a play last night on the Interactive Examples
(javascript)

http://code.google.com/apis/blogger/docs/1.0/developers_guide_js.html#Interactive_Samples

adjusted some script on the fly against my own blog and managed to delete half of them.
(including a few unintended deletions for Pace Twin comments, sorry Trevor..)

for some reason it wont let me retrieve more than 24 posts deep , dunno why.
I also encountered timeouts when deleting 5 or more comments at a time.

Plan is to make an Google Gadget that allows everyone to delete en masse comments.
