The post on thumb drives a while back got kind of a bizarre comment last night, that I let through.
I am certain English is not their first language (domain was from China), and that their intention was to induce me to click on the link I've already removed, but somehow they captured a very poetic sentiment about our site.
For those who don't feel like clicking the link and reading through the comments, here are darrenh's comments:
"Do you really think this is new thing? Your blog is really good to me, I
read it to get useful info, but sometimes I'm bored to tears."
Alas, Darren. It's not just this blog. Anyone reading the story of my life would find this comment very apropos.
It's interesting how spam is getting cleverer and cleverer. The fact that this comes from China makes me consider the world at large, and how 19th century Europe used to snicker and look down on the American nouveau riche. I'm certain that most Chinese "Engrish" is far better than my Mandarin.
And back more towards IT, you never really hear about viruses much anymore. Did they go away? Or are they just good enough at writing them that you no longer notice them anymore... Are typical users of the internet getting savvy and not clicking on offers too good to be true?
I'd write more, but I've got to get back to work. Today, life is good to me, but sometimes I am bored to tears. In the mean time, I must advocate the forward click of travel if one has great mind adventure fortitude to Diarrhea Bear.

Some more of these spam messages, from other blogs on our server:
--I’ve heard so much about this website, so I finally decided to visit it. I have to say that It’s nothing special..
--Your blog is getting better and better! Previous posts were good, but this one is just FABULOUS.
--Risky theme. I think you've hurt someone's feelings, but what's for me - I like it. No matter what they say if your opinion is true.
