I got tired of moderating away comments posted by a rather persistent spammer flogging a diet pill. The site has always been set to hold for moderation any comments with too many links, and so the spam was never actually seen by anyone but me (and possibly Howard). Now, any comment with the name of that particular often-spammed diet pill will simply be refused.
And now, to forcibly drag this post on-topic…
Note that I spelled it “spam”, not “SPAM”. The latter is a registered trademark of Hormel Foods Corporation, which has been remarkably clueful as corporations go about its use on the net: basically, as long as you make sure not to use the capitalized form, they don’t have much problem with its use to describe the scourge of the Internet. I believe that those of us on the net should honor their wishes.
The canned meat product that’s the subject of the trademark is not one of my favorite foods, but I might get a can, chop it up into little bits, and try it on a chupaqueso.
There. How’s that for trying valiantly to stay close to the actual topic? Or should I give up and just post a picture of the latest chocolate and jalapeno creation?
