This is just an announcement to everyone that comment spam will be deleted and the IPs of the senders banned. I have seen it on other blogs, and today I noticed that someone named CmK, email galileo60@aol.com, IP address 192.67.48.23, left this in a post of mine:
I am developing a new marketing system that will be on sale to the public
soon - complete with casette tapes, several short booklets and an endless
list of success stories - to be marketed on late night infomertials for 3
easy payments of $ 99.99 on how I created fantastic personal wealth by
handling confidential financial transactions for defrocked government
ministers and princes of third world countries ..... IT REALLY WORKS!!!
Now, considering the subject of the post, this may have been a joke, but it looked like spam to me.

And why didn't he visit me?
Posted by: bigwig at April 2, 2003 at 10:37 PMWhat's next? Announcements of a traveling seminar on how to Make Money Fast? A book on how to make money selling Herbal Viagra? Videotapes teaching you how to advertise websites using comment spam? Dear God, where will it all end?
