Spam-a-lot

We’ve been drowning in the floods of spam replies to comments.  I have deleted about 120 in the past 24hours, and (subsequently) installed a spam filter*.  The forum has also had lots of people-who-aren’t-people-but-are-in-fact-adverts sign up.  What a pain in the bum it is to sift through them.  This is time I should be spending making music.

 

Anyway, this has had me mulling on the nature of spam, and why it exists. 

- Does anyone actually follow the links?

- Do they then buy the discount herbal medicines?

- Do the items arrive?

- At what point does a company decide that this is a good marketing tool.  Is it true that if you world wide websling enough poop, some of it will stick?

 

Feel free to comment, and redress the CONTENT:SPAM ratio.
