Look at the spam, (not so) wonderful spam
I took a little time away from this site for the last month. Truthfully, I took a lot of time away from everything on-and-offline while I was sick (again). When I finally logged back in last night, I was greeted with 40-something comments, all from spammers. Most of them were short and sweet, such as “great site!” “good job!” and “nice work!” immediately followed with links to online casinos, low cost insurance sites and lots, and lots of viagra. Some skipped the compliments altogether and just had links to God knows what. I didn’t dare click on them! I don’t want to know where they go!
These bogus comments always come in spurts. Someone posts a half dozen of them in one sitting, several days go by, then another internet marketing creep does the same thing.
I should probably take it as a compliment that anyone is actually paying attention to my little site when I all but abandonned it, delete the comments and move on. I thought about posting the “great job!” bits without the links just to annoy the spammers, but really, that’s just petty and dumb. Instead, I’ll just throw up a little post pointing out how I’ll NEVER advertise for anyone’s online casino/insurance/erection/porn sites/cheeseball internet “businesses,” so now it’s clear that the spammers can enjoy my “great site” without any hope of making money off of me.
Now go away before I taunt you a second time,
Flo
