Take That! (You big-ass windmill)
In the War on Spam, I am, today, victorious. In the last two weeks or so, I had gotten three or four episodes of 300+ spam emails all over my blog from such dubious products as *stupid drugs for men who are afraid to die, *stupid drugs for people who would rather take drugs than solve the problem that's making them depressed and various incarnations of fetish porn. It was ridiculous.
Like telemarketing, I'm still quite amazed that this nuisance is enough of a cash cow that people actually pay for the service. WHO buys these products from spam email? I find web spam even more noxious than telemarketing. It's as if they've come in to my home and littered all over everything. The bastards should die!!!
But today I am victorious. Thanks to the help of my BIL and Server, I've not only upgraded to a fantastic version of Movable Type, but I've got a swanky new look to boot! (and thank you Movable Type!)This version has a few tools so that the Blogger can fight back. I have no doubt the spammers will still remain a nuisance, but at least they won't be able to post on the Blog so easily.
Today, "I, Don Quioxite, am winning!
*Names of stupid drugs have been omitted.

I like your new look. When I got home from Florida, I had about 50 spammed comments on my blog. It is not too bad removing them.
