The mainstream US news media was delighted to tell us that we’d all be seeing a decrease in the amount of spam in our inboxes after the arrest of Robert Soloway, but it sure hasn’t made a bit of difference in the spam that vexes *ME* most, which is blog-comment spam.  This blog gets, on average, 100-200 spam comments a day; this has shot up to over 500 spam comments in the last 24 hours, and over 300 for every day since last Friday.

So if you’re wondering why you comments never seem to get posted, well, it’s because I oftentimes can’t find them under all that spam!  Some of them crack me up too…like the ones that try and make their comment look like a “real person” but the comment only says something generic like “love your site!” and then the same comment gets posted 17 times…all from the same name, although each time they use a different fake email address.  Or the ones where it’s just a run-on string of dozens of links to everything from “hardcore teen sluts” to “generic bible info”.  I am frankly astonished that spammers expect any success at all in selling whatever it is they’re selling with such clumsy tactics, but then I guess if you send out enough of the crap you’ll hit a sucker eventually.

Anyhow, those persons who vex me with blog-comment spam can take a cue from this pic (from my upcoming Chateau Cherie update - join me to see the rest!) and

KISS MY ASS!  bwahahahahaha!
