some more thoughts on spam
Spam is a fact of life on the internet…thank $diety for filters and moderation queues; they make maintenance a lot easier.
Of course, blog admin tools have the unfortunate side effect of presenting moderated comments out of the context of the post they’re attached to. Some of them are really actually quite flattering, giving me a little ego boost, at least until I notice they’re praising the genius of one of the static pages with no actual writing on it instead of my latest 1000 word dissertation on some philosophical question…
…I do, however, have to give credit to the current hot topic of “Help! The Russian mafia is forcing me to post penis enlargment spam links! Oh no! They’re coming back!”. As I heard somebody say once, advertising is always an imposition, but targets are more forgiving if an ad is funny or otherwise entertaining.
