Spammers must die
I get 10+ spam mails in my office account a day. Typical spam mails involve asking me to purchase:
(a) Home credit at US$488,000 at an awesome 3.67% fixed rate
(b) Hot stock pick - some unknown company called AGGA Rresrouces Pte Ltd anyone?
(c) Enlarge my penis up to 10 cm or 4 inches - I shudder as to what sort of revolutionary medicine could do such a thing.
(d) Fast track BS degree programme
(e) Some guy called Eric asking . . . Oh wait, that's work. Still, delete.
Many of these spam are badly written with spelling and gramar mistakes all over the place. The one on penis ehancement said"Show your girl a huge explosion as I used to do". Woah, literary genius right there, Shakespeare! I suspect the orginator of these spam mails are some Eastern European who fed his badly written source email into some software and the software then distributed it to all emails accounts around the world without any discretion. So you getr Spam filters are not advanced enough to filter such mails from authentic, bona-fide mails.
And then there are blog spam. People who leave comments on your blog for no reason other than to get you to visit their blogs or to advertise viagra or penis enhancement machine like the one used by Austin Powers. Irritating, I know. At first, I thought it was harmless. And then I read this blog called http://shiveredsky.blogspot.com/2006/09/this-is-why-comment-spammers-must-be.html. The writer of this excellent blog talked about this incident in the blogosphere.
Apparently there was this blog by a cancer patient which kept a blog to write down her fight against cancer and the footsteps of death. She passed away in October 2005 and her husband wrote the last entry for his wife informing everyone that his wife had passed away.

But check out the last few comments on the last entry. Remember, the woman has passed away of cancer after a long battle and her husband had already written on the blog to tell everyone so.

Hi The Butterfly greetings from down under. I was searching for the latest information on christian , I can see how I landed on your page. While Nice while it lasted wasn't exactly what I was looking for. (I was after christian related stuff) I ejoyed reading your blog, I'll come back agin to read future posts. Take Care.
I can't believe that gift shops, porn distributors, Christians and cancer societies are so insensitive and desperate for business that they are willing to spam a dead cancer patient's blog to get attention. Porn distributors definitely (I mean, they are already in the porn industry so what dignity and respect?) but Christian organisations? WTF.
Death to spammers.

I get spams emails too. Mine by the way can only be classified under 2 catogories:
1) dating (always some female wanting to meet me)
2) enlarge penis
Does my name sound like a guy?
By the way, I still can't figure out how to un-moderate my comments.
Vanilla must be the manliest female blog name ever.
I think you can turn off the option at the settings - compose message tab.
duh...
