Time for a whinge!
I’ve been doing this blog for a while now, happily tapping away on my keyboard, hoping to write stuff that someone out there might enjoy reading. So every day I get the comments on my posts emailed in and at first I was encouraged that there were quite a few. Wicked! I thought, nice to get feedback. Then I started to notice an increase in the junk comments and realised that most of these comments are posted by people or companies that are only interested in getting advertising or porn! Some are just long streams of utter gobbledegook (phew that was hard!) that have no relation to anything, let alone english!
Now they’re really starting to piss me off – there’s so many – every day. Honestly you wouldn’t believe it… everything from Christian Dating(!) to Romance Academy (findmesomeone.org!) to Discount Shoes to any kind of bloody insurance you can think of! Fuck me, it’s a joke. What I want to know is WHY? What do you think they hope to get out of it? Apart from just filling my trash they’re totally wasting cyber space.
So my message to you ‘so called bloggers’ – who ain’t, is FUCK OFF! Just stop it and let the real people who have valid comments to make – make them.

Great Article! You rock! All joking aside, I really agree with you I’ve only began blogging myself here recently and out of the very few comments i had none were informative or even talked about the actual post. Thanks for the tips because I’m sure that I don’t comment as i should either.

Chic,
Use WordPress? Well you should it’s ace blogging software I uses it (stuartmorrison.com/blog) if you do there’s a free (butt) “plug-in” that’s called Askimet which you add to the site and it cans the spam!
It can be found here http://www.akismet.com/ and it’s free!
Thanks for making me famous and the pernament tat is doing just fine!
