Dear Mr. S. Bot

Dear Mr. S. Bot,

Mr. S. Bot, do you mind if I call you Spam? No? Good. I thought I would take a moment to let you know this blog uses com­ment mod­er­a­tion to pre­vent you from ever appear­ing on its pages. Addi­tion­ally, I use a vari­ety of plu­g­ins to pre­vent you from even show­ing up in my mod­er­a­tion queue. Unfor­tu­nately, you’ve man­aged to find a few ways to sneak past those plu­g­ins so I actu­ally have to do some­thing about you. I’d rather not have to do that and since you are never going to be allowed to dis­play any infor­ma­tion on this blog or link to your own sites from it; please give it up and go bother some­body else.

Sin­cerely,
Mark

P.S. I know the odds of this actu­ally cut­ting back on the flow of spam to this site are less then the odds of me throw­ing a snow­ball from my office park­ing lot at the sun and hit­ting it, but it’s nice to dream. :)
