Have you got anything without SPAM in it?
Huh. I just had this thought today.
According to my little Web Stat Tracker Doo Dad, I get about 60 hits a day. Doesn't that make me sound so popular and important?
But according to my spam* filter, I get over 100 spam comments a day.
I suppose many of the spam bots stop by once and comment a bunch of comments. They do seem to come in waves.
So I realized that means many of my hits are not actual people hits, they are spam bots.
Oh, what a blow to my ego! I am not as popular as I thought I was!
On the other hand, it appears I am very popular with the spam bots.
I guess that's good enough for me!
*That link goes to the Monty Python Spam Skit on YouTube, which is always worth another sing-along. True to Monty Python nature, though, it may not be acceptable viewing material for children and conservative readers. I suggest stopping when the foreign gentleman in the bowler hat comes in, should you find yourself in that category.
