The joy of spam

I wrote a little nothing of a diary over on DailyKos entitled The casino spam on my website, in which I pasted, verbatim, some choice morsels that had been taking the place of genuine feedback on this site.—Well, okay, “taking the place of” is not entirely accurate, given that I’ve gotten all of two (count ‘em 2!) genuine comments since starting this thing.
In any event, they were cluttering up my space and filling me first with false hopes of feedback, and then with a certain degree of outrage: how the hell do the spammers do this? And what was the point of sending me completely unreadable crap? (The casino spam was at least kind of coherent.)
—to be continued—
Well, maybe not. Go read the DailyKos diary and then tell me I should continue.
Three! Three comments! Our Dem county site used to get porn spam, so we had to turn all comments off. You might be able to install the akismet spam filter plugin for your comments. It works well.
