Well guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've just turned the word verification back on under my comment settings for this blog, because the amount of spam I am getting lately has just been overwhelming. It started out as spam in English, but now I'm getting Asian and Arabic spam, as well as generic requests addressed to the admin of GoRetro telling me that a link of mine is not working. I mean, enough already. I guess it's a good sign that your blog is getting increased traffic, but it's out of control. Who are these people and why don't they have a life? Or most likely they're bot generated. More importantly, do the jerks behind them think this lame marketing tactic actually works? I don't know anyone who admits to clicking on an off-topic advertising link on sites they visit.
Spam and spammers just suck; there's no polite way of saying it. I apologize for the inconvenience (that's for you, Marlene :)), but I really hope this cuts it out or at least cuts it down.
Just for fun, and to keep a retro theme to this post, here's a thoroughly disgusting 1975 for Spam...spread? Ewww.
Also this week may be a slow one on the blog...but I'm going to try to get another post up before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Thanks for understanding!
