Anon E Mouse

I get quite a few comments that don't get published, the vast majority of them come from that well known polymath Anonymous.   Some of his (or of course her) work has been very good, I am particularly attached to Greensleeves, but some of the comments I get are definitely below the standard of Primary Colours.   Yesterday I received this;~


"Unquestionably consider that that you said. Your favourite reason seemed to be on
the net the simplest factor to keep in mind of. I say to you,
I certainly get annoyed whilst people think about issues that they just do not recognise about.
You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as well as defined out
the whole thing with no need side effect , other folks
could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
Thank you

Also visit my blog "


Of course even if any of it made any sense that "Also visit my blog" at the end is a give away.   So apart from publicly deriding the quality of the automatic translation what is my point? Well I just wonder what on earth do these people hope to gain? No one is going to publish this drivel and insult their readers by sending the to some dodgy website, so why waste my time?   I don' want to go back to using the anti spam Word Verification as I think it can put off genuine comments, but these idiots do annoy me!

And I've just realised that since it is Saturday I can make this a Weekend Wobbly!

I sympathise. I stopped anonymous comments from people who were not registered bloggers, but I'm still getting 'comments' (i.e. advertisements for services) from flower and chocolate sellers in India. Despite my polite notice that all such comments will be instantly deleted - and despite my posts often dealing with subjects that, to my mind, would put off thoughts of sending flowers or chocolates to anyone!

No doubt the next step in 'security', asking all those wishing to comment to go through the word/number verification process would put these busy people off. But I agree it would also make life more difficult for people you'd like to hear from.

I moderate-and-delete daily, even though it's becoming a chore I could do without. But I will not give these people a platform to sell from.
