Comment spam - what are they thinking?
I will happily publish comments, even bad ones, on this blog as long as they are not obvious spam (feels like spam, looks like spam, smells like spam - easy to spot!) AND they are roughly 'on subject'.
I amazed at how often a comment arrives in my in-tray for moderation and I think 'oh good. I hope this will be interesting' only to find it's somebody sounding off on a subject completely of their own choosing.
...like the recent one from somebody upset about geographical names used in a publication I have never once mentioned in the 3+ years this blog has been running!
You know who you are! Muppet!
