Apparently, I've made it as a blogger.

Finally, after goodness knows how long, I am getting blog spam.

I figure this means that I have arrived, as a fully-fledged blogger.

Now I get to join everyone else who complains about blog spam.

I think spammers are a strange bunch - they expend effort and thought on trying to get rich quick by engaging in an activity that seems pretty damn stupid.

They'd get rich far quicker, I think, if they put that much effort and thought into something that takes only a little hard work and thought to become successful.  And people wouldn't execute them, gang-land style.

I think it's a new breed of sociopathy.  It goes way beynd selfish, well into the realm of wanting to screw with people.

Don't think I'm simply ranting - I've been following the behaviours of spammers for oh, about a decade.

It's just getting boringly predictable.  The Internet creates a place for sane and moderately on-topic discussion, then come the spammers to piss in the pool.
