You know your blog has “made it” in the blog world when the comments stop relating to the BS you’re posting about and start resembling a certain ham product often eaten in Hawaii.  I wish I could say I do this for a living and have the time to weed out the spam from the real comments but I can’t quit my day job yet, so if you somehow found your comment didn’t make it up here, my bad…  You would think grammar would be a good way to narrow down the spam comments as they often sound like “I couldent discover to much other material on this write-up, so it was good to discover this one” or “interesting topic I can’t find much on, thanks for writing” but with the facebooking/myspace/linkedin networking nowadays, that’s pretty much how real people talk online.  So then you have to look into whatever URL they’re promoting and realize the comments should say something more like “come visit my porno site- $5/min to watch water sports…” (and not the kind you see in the X Games…) or “free credit report, because I’ve looked and you obviously don’t have any money to pay your bills!”  Anyways, feel free to “spam comment” my blog with craft beer ads or free brake pads or something, but until then I’ll just keep using my trigger happy index finger to hit the spam/delete comment button.
