Blogosphere Treasure
I would guess that most people don’t read what’s in their email spam folders. I personally find amusement in the replica watch offers and penis enlargers. I am also the kind of person who would respond to such emails if anyone read them. I would help correct the English, perhaps offer some business advice, and of course give the Nigerians my bank information to help them through this terrible coup.
Today I discovered that my blog has its own spam folder. Most of the comments are gibberish with links to more gibberish. Sometimes there is a random sentence without any associated links, which is weird because I thought that was the whole point of spam.
There is one spammer posting very cryptic comments. I received these four comments from the same email address at different times on different posts:
In my opinion you are not right. I am assured. Let’s discuss it. Write to me in PM, we will communicate.
The authoritative point of view.
I can not participate now in discussion – there is no free time. But I will be released – I will necessarily write that I think on this question.
Yes… Likely… The easier, the better… All ingenious is simple.
Clearly these are clues. Is the spammer sending me on a treasure hunt? Is a timeless secret being slowly revealed to me? My greatest concern is for the supreme entity suggested by these comments. Some ingenious authority from which the author wants to be released. Perhaps this is not spam at all, but a cry for help!
To the writer of these comments, thank you for your contributions to my blog. Unfortunately, I have a pretty busy schedule so I am not going to be able to follow your clues to either find your treasure or liberate you from your oppressor. I really hope everything works out, and if you still need my help in a few months, please let me know.
