And the answer is (you will have guessed), "I know it when I see it." Besides the sites can mess up a computer...so they tell me.<br /><br />As for "sweet and nice", there are those who would not agree.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-86281323066613642282012-07-24T15:26:41.592-05:002012-07-24T15:26:41.592-05:00Mark, I love it.

Those of us with a bit more, um, *cough* mature-audiences-only content are in the direct line of fire. That's why I have kept all the shield up on my blog. In fact, I just now deleted two unctuous and duplicitous spams like the ones you quote at the top of this post! Still a nuisance, despite Blogger's safeguards and mine.Russ Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722260145543178087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-88141253436303696692012-07-24T06:09:11.619-05:002012-07-24T06:09:11.619-05:00My spam is mostly European and Asian marketers of ...My spam is mostly European and Asian marketers of everything from Ugg boots to "celebrity" porn.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-57422137389638142532012-07-23T23:51:10.464-05:002012-07-23T23:51:10.464-05:00Apropos of not a damned thing, Mimi, I read Terry ...Apropos of not a damned thing, Mimi, I read Terry Pratchett's latest Discworld novel, <i>Snuff</i>, and he includes an encounter with a widow with sextuplets, all daughters, all languishing in expectations of a distant inheritance to secure decent dowries - until the main character points out that they should get off their "rather attractive backsides" and make their own way in the world - there's the industrious daughter, the well-endowed and skillful, but unaware of it, daughter, the scandalous daughter, the pious daughter (with an understanding with the young curate), etc., right down to a young daughter with literary ambitions named Jane, who writes, in the end, a novel about the complications and subtle interpersonal harmonics of a policeman's life called <i>Pride and Extreme Prejudice</i>.<br /><br />I thought you'd appreciate that.MarkBrunsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971990948866488080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-88530953111123942812012-07-23T19:45:16.040-05:002012-07-23T19:45:16.040-05:00Piskie, I agree.

I check it occasionally to see if there is an error. I've only found one comment that shouldn't have been spam and one that was questionable that I decided probably was spam.
