Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Just block my damn spam!
“I have protected your site from 80,526 spam comments already, but there’s nothing in your spam queue at the moment.”
I get regular personal messages like this one from the tool I use to produce my blog, telling me he is protecting me from spam. Of course, these regular messages seem like a form of spam.
Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful for what he does. But there’s something sort of creepy about him.
Excuse me, Bob, this is me, your Blog Tool speaking…

Yes. I’ve got a million of ‘em. I’ll be back soon, Bob…
