Attack of the spambots!

I suppose it was only a matter of time; spambots have detected my blog's comments function and have begun making it difficult to create discussion threads regarding my posts. So I've been forced to enable comments only for registered Blogger users; I figure I spend enough time doing this without manually deleting ads for lord-knows-what. If you know of a better way, let me know.

No, no -- there was a bunch of spam and I must have mistakenly deleted your message...

Could it be because you used the word 'wholesale'?

Got to admire the element praying on human weakness, they have my respect.

& what is this latest spam thing with the weird & misspelled subject lines & sender names that sound like characters out of a bad TV series? Like I'm supposed to react, "Oh, great, more weirdness! Gotta have THAT." (Or maybe they're just trying to sound like my friends!)

(No offence, cyn 8-)

As far as I'm concerned, spam is beyond mortal understanding. Fortunately my Bulk Mil folder sweeps up the vast majority of it.

From what was I supposed to possibly be offended from w.m. bear??

W.M. Bear said...

I guess seeing the name Cyn - threw you off...
looked Spammy


...sender names that sound like characters out of a bad TV series?

Cyn sounds like a character out of a bad TV series?? Jeez you guys really make a gal feel all warm and fuzzy... shit.

Hence the "no offence." Of course, I didn't mean you, Cyn! (Just by way of explanation.)
