Spammers. Can’t live with ’em. Can’t kill ’em.

The only reason I kept visiting this blog was the vain hope that one day you will post about HOT AIR BALLONS. You just lost yourself a reader.

I work for a newspaper. Among the more egregious examples of spammery lately are the three emails we’ve gotten from a woman hoping we’ll put a link to her crossbow buying guide on our 9-month-old article about a guy shot in the head with a crossbow.

I wasn’t even sure you were keeping up with this site.

By the way, I have this great Alignment Chart idea that I could submit to you, if you would just consider taking this quick survey and we can pay you thirty dollars in separate penny installments!

As both a longtime fan of this site and HOT AIR BALLONS, frankly I’m shocked and appalled you passed up such a great opportunity to make $25 and provide readers like me a chance to read more HOT AIR BALLON content.

I’m just flabbergasted you’d turn up your nose at such a clear cut win-win for all parties involved, I tell you. I really expected better of you, MGK…

Did they claim that you have an interesting in FARMING just because you used the word chaff once in your reply?

Thok: I read MGK’s replay about three times trying to find a reason for the subject change to FARMING, and that’s the conclusion I came to as well.

Spammers seem like such a quaint internet problem to have, until you have to deal with them first hand. I guess it’s not like they were trying to recruit you into a harassment cult.

Thok and Rwe, it’s because he used the word *wheat* in his reply.
