Spam-a-licious… spam-a-lama-ding-dong… need I go on?

According to WordPress, I have been protected from 960 spam comments since I started this blog.

Nine hundred sixty spam comments?!

And the messages that do get caught are so stupid, I don’t know why anyone would waste their time on sending them, either by hand or by some computer program.

Most of the spam lately have been from individuals with Greek names, such as Mykos, Nico, Apollo (yes, really!), and Skorpios. All one word comments like “nice”, “cool” and “sorry “.

Then there are the spambots that bombard you with crap about online pharmacies and drugs of every ilk to fix balding, depression, sleep disorders and male enhancement problems. Those messages come with good ole American names like Bob, Ron, and Mary.

None of these messages originate anywhere near the Greek Isles or the good ole U.S. of A. Try eastern Europe.

Nice try losers.

Akismet does a great job of keeping the bulk of the trash away from my blog.

Isn’t Skorpios an island or something?

That’s all from where I sit.
