Our BIggest Fan - Spam

Spam. We all get it. Most of it is caught and diverted by filters; others we can delete merely from reading the subject line. Some, we have to actually read into to determine it is an unsolicited pitch by email. Spam.

By some accounts, spam comprises nearly half of the millions of emails circulating daily. In recent years however, there is a rising popularity among spammers to do their carnival barking in the comment section of a blog.

In the article “How Spam Works” Marshal Brain enlightens us on the subject; where it comes from, how much there is, what is being done and other things.

For a few weeks this spot will show some of the sillier messages found in blogger comment spam. These will be quoted exactly, grammar, punctuation, spelling and content bungles included.

Here is today's exciting example.
