Sunday of my Life

OK… one of my deep distates just grew deeper.

Spammers. Now, we’ve all heard of them and their activities. We all get emails from them (some of us have Beyesian spam filters, but that’s beside the point, we’re still getting the emails, we’re just not seeing them). How many times have you seen things like this floating around in your inbox?

Sex! Sex! Sex!
Get free viagra today!
Meet Christian singles today!

I know I see more of them than I probably should (blame Hotmail, they have a crap spam filtering system), but I just saw spam in a place that I really didn’t expect to see it, although I probably should have. In my comments for this blog. Some little bastard has been using me to try and advertise his online poker site. Well… *click*click*click*…that’s those comments deleted. I’ve had to introduce comment moderation on SOML now, so if you comment on one of my posts from hereon in they won’t show up straight away. I’ll have to approve them first. Blame the spammers if you want, I certainly know I do.

To all the spammers of the world, I have this to say:

Listen up and listen up good you link-whoring little pieces of trash. I do not want to know about your porn sites. I do not want to know about your viagra or other assorted drugs. I do not want to know about your Christian singles. I do not want to know about you. For all of me you could go and swallow large portions of your own anatomy. No one on the net is interested in what you’re trying to cram down our throats. We do not appreciate your efforts (not that any of you actually go to any effort, we all know you sit back playing with yourself looking at porn while in the background your robots are spidering pages looking for email addresses, spoofing anti-abuse tracers, IPs and origin addresses so you can avoid being caught). We all know why you do it. You lack the ambition to do anything worthwhile with your time. You would rather sit around letting your computer do your work for you, defiling innocent inboxes with your offers of cheap porn and free viagra. If you actually had any ambition you would be out there in the world actually doing something worthwhile with your life, something which is of benefit to yourself and those around you. You would not be sitting in the dark in front of your computer day after day, wasting your time, hoping for one hit out of a million spams. Some advice for all of you spammers. Grow up. Stop being a script kiddy. Get out there and do something worthwhile. And stop trying to spam my comments. Your posts will not get through anymore, so stop bothering.

OK… that was nice and cathartic. I feel better now. Thanks for listening.
