I just woke up to a few hundred blog comment spam, and though a few had common attributes–IP Addresses and URLs–most were simple, meaningless text strings with varied, faked IP Addresses and not even a URL, name, or anything in common. Completely useless to any spammer whatsoever. And I almost had no common element to erase them all in one swipe with MT-Blacklist, meaning I would have to resort to deleting them one by one–a process which could take more than an hour. Not exactly an enticing proposition. But fate rescued me: the unspeakable moron who mega-spammed me used one common element–which I reported earlier, but Paul reminded me that I should probably not announced it–and it was in every spam. So I did have one common element to shovel the freshly-laid manure out, after all. But it was close–had the slimeball not used that one little thing, I’d have been in for a hellish hour of staring at spam.

And it’s not just this morning. I have been getting an increasing amount of this kind of spam, probably from the same lowlifes, almost every day now, with many emails bearing no URLs, mention of a company or web site name, or anything else of value to a spammer. It’s as if they simply want to wear me down, make me so sick of deleting spam that I give up and let everything stay, including their links. These people are unspeakable pieces of human garbage. Imagine someone coming to your home, every morning before dawn, and stapling ads to the front of your house until its covered with them, and it’s legal and there’s little you can do to stop them aside from just taking down the ads.

I’ve been putting it off, but that comment registration system is going up as soon as I get the time. I just pray to God they haven’t found a way to hack that, too.
