The spam comes up with a method to overcome our security measures, and then we create a new more effective measure. It is a constant tug of war. However, just as in war, if you find the folks producing the spam and eradicate them, the spam stops. For a time at least.

Kettle of Phish.... lol I would not doubt there is some 'genius' who is trying even now to figure out how to insert these bots into spam comments. I think I even saw a few a while ago, but the amount of effort to post these 419 scams on blogs exceeds the criminal's "work ethic". That said, MSM and Yahoo chat rooms are now useless because of these bots. I do not know if it is an anti-blog tactic, pathetic marketing, or another scam, but these bots really make using open sites difficult. If they get better than the software, it might cause a majority of blogs to go 'registration only'. Spam... Someone cue the Monty Python "Spam Vikings"! Neo…. Kettle of Phish…. lol

No Nigerian princesses crying for help and a gift of $10 million (so long as you give them your bank account)? And what about body enhancement? I got rid of my hotmail account because a majority of my emails were about breast enlargement...... Kinda pointless for a guy, but who said bots were smart? What?

I cant tell you how rare it is to come across such thoughtfulness these days, and what a joy it has been to wake up to a knew understanding of an issue that other wise gets skance notice. Like Nuclear energy for an example. Clean, efficient nuclear energy. Generated by Americas modern powerful Nuclear reactors. You see, water is heated by the reactor where it produces steam....
