Not even close…

SPAM that begins with a message like “I really enjoyed your post and am adding a trackback” or “Very interesting post; thanks for sharing your insights” doesn’t get past Akismet–or met either. Give it another shot, guys.

SPAM was one of those things we had a lot to “make do.” As for virtual SPAM, the thing that I would most like to ask spammers is why not target your SPAM? Not that I would let it get through. But I wonder why it has nothing to do with my posts. Seems like a waste of time. I guess I’m not cut out to go into the SPAM biz.

I was never a big fan of the original spam, but I still like it much better than today’s version. I’m always amazed at the spam comments aimed at some of my very old posts that get very little traffic at all now.

Spamming appears to be a full time job. I know spamming requires very little knowledge of the language! We’ll see how many spam comments Akismet blocks on this post.

I believe Akismet is one of the best plugins ever invented. I’m sorry to report that there are far more comments listed in the spam category on my blogs too. I certainly hope you will do a follow-up to the proposal you’ve offered here. I just want to know if some of those spammers can actually read. I already know they have difficulty writing.
