Well, there has been a great deal of interest in the whole spam topic. Many people out there are similarly plagued. A lot of you had ideas on how to deal with the infestation. I, however, came up with a plan of my own.
I just packed up everything and moved to parts unknown. Didn’t leave a forwarding address or anything. Now these accursed spammers will still be looking for me at my old place. They’ll never be able to find me where I am; therefore they won’t be able to spam me. I am certain that this plan is fool-proof. How could anyone spam my blog if they don’t know where I live?
Just recently, though, I found out that spam-bots aren’t all bad. I was reading an article in my favourite magazine, Mental Floss, on the subject. Programmers make CAPTCHAs in order to weed out the bots. At the same time, however, hackers are programming their bots to be smarter and be able to defeat the CPTCHA’s. As this process continues to go back and forth the spam bots could eventually achieve true artificial intelligence.
I guess this means that eventually the spam-bots will be able to deluge every single blog out there with a ton of spam all by themselves. This will give the humans more time to download porn; and that can’t possibly be a bad thing.
