Oh, hell, yeah.

But I had to delete the URL…..

I think I’ll leave up any comment spam that hits this thread.

Yeah, you’re right, Morgan. I just took care of it.

I think what I like about this sort of spam is that it’s completely incomprehensible to me. It could be about anything, maybe even something interesting. Therefore, it doesn’t make me stupider just to look at it, like normal spam does.

We should probably kill the links, though. Nuke spammability!

Oh, hell, yes. This one’s gotta stay. Though you’d have to put a gun to my head to get me to click through on that link.

…Forget what I said about not using the Cyrillic alphabet in your posts. :0

Oh, also — Don’t write comments using the Cyrillic alphabet. That’s a sure way to get filtered.

Just in case you were contemplating doing that….

Yeah, please let us know. It’s a lot easier for us to search on a specific comment and commentor, than it is for us to plow through all the viagra.

James — If any of your posts went missing, it definitely wasn’t on our part. We get a HUGE amount of comment spam that gets caught, so much that Steve and I have quit looking at the list.

I just now looked and we’ve passed 50,000 spam comments filtered out since EOB opened.

Even our GMail account gets too much spam.

We don’t moderate, which means that comments don’t have to be approved beforehand before they’ll be visible here, just that some may get filtered out by the software, or may get deleted by one of us if it seems to be spam or abuse — and we get almost nothing that we consider abusive.

If a post of yours doesn’t show up here, just send me a quick note about it at my nospam728 at-the-gmail-place account, and I’ll check it out.
