Educated Spammer
This made its way to the spam comment box and I thought it would make for a good show and tell. This spammer must have recently graduated college and attempted to sound intelligent. It’s a hilarious attempt at TRYING to sound legit. Just for the record I got two more very similar ones each with a different, vast vocabulary.
Easily, the post is really the best on this laudable topic. I harmonise with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your approaching updates. Saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the fantastic lucidity in your writing. I will at once grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates. Good work and much success in your business dealings!
De-Marked Spam Comments
It seems to be getting more difficult to figure out what comments are spam and what aren’t. My spam catcher is usually very good about filtering the legit comments from spam, but every once in a while I run across one that looks like it should be real. If a comment you post doesn’t show up, I apologize. Getting 40+ spam comments a day its impractical to filter manually. Today I de-marked one comment and am still unsure about it. This got me thinking: I wonder how common it is for legit comments to get marked as spam for other bloggers. A reader poll is born.
