He isn’t friendly, OWL, but may mellow as he ages.

While I understand why they do it, my favorite plug-in for WordPress is the Spam Nuker. Keeping that junk in the comments table just adds to my overhead. I know that it helps to identify spam, but I don’t have a problem doing that myself.

Off the top of my head, five or more links shifts a comment to moderation automatically, even my comments, so the garbage is never seen. It’s just a waste of resources and bandwidth.

My bad — next time I’ll post all of the links from my spambox, will that suffice?

(On second thought, maybe I won’t. I’d hate to be classed as a bushwhacker, given who else you put in that category!)

I’ll tell him, Jams.

This is the place, Jim, but you forgot the forty links to drug and insurance sites.

PJ, Blaze was a cute kitten, but is not too bright.

Steve, he vigorously scratched his left cheek right after the picture was taken with his white rear paw.

Karen, he licked his paw before scratching.

OT: He has ignored the concerns of the Turks, like everyone else in the area. They haven’t been happy about the effect of the invasion on the Kurdish area and I don’t think the Turks are ready to believe anything we say. The US didn’t take Turkish concerns into consideration, which is why they refused to allow transit through Turkey for the invasion.

The solution was to have divided the Ottoman Empire into nations along ethnic lines after World War I, but without a regional war, that isn’t going to happen today. The Shi’ites would control all of the oil except the reserves in northern Iraq, including the Saudi reserves, if that had been done. The “solution” at the end of World War I is at the root of today’s problems, and was the reason no one should have messed with the status quo in the area.
