It seems a very odd coincidence that just a few hours after I wrote this, I got my first next-generation comment spam.<\/p>\n<p>It was a comment from one Ryan M. Parr. He&#8217;s got an email address, a web site filled with all sorts of semi-authentic sounding crap and he even writes semi-coherently. The spam was deposited in a very low key manner. He didn&#8217;t even mention the name of the product! Instead, he google-bombed on a keyword, &#8220;Eye[nocommentspam]Q&#8221;. That takes you to a website called in[nocommentspam]fmind.com where they are selling (of all things) a speed reading course.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I thought the spam mail sounded stupid too; so I downloaded it off bearshare; unfortunately now that I checked it out, it turned out to be in an Asian character set and unable to extract from .rar format. If you want a program along this line, a good program is Eye[nocommentspam]Q.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fuckers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>update 10-11-05<\/strong>: 71 comment spams received in the past 3 days. 0 made it to the site.
