I’m bald, I have no interest in nor use for laser hair removal systems.

I do not care that your порно is бесплатное, I have no use for two pages of links to it in my comments database.

I delete this crap. You aren’t going to receive a link, and I resent having to make the effort to click on the delete button.

Sending this multiple times to a post about a computerized guitar is not going to avoid the checks in place. Go bother Repubs, they may need your products.

So you get the Rusky spam? I get the Chinese spam — comments that are nothing but links to Chinese sites.

And yeah, I get sick of deleting them too. When it gets really bad I turn off the anonymous commenting feature in blogger. That usually stops’em. But occasionally someone manages to keep a Blogger account long enough to post some spam anyhow. Sigh.

I occasionally use Cyrillic so it shows up in their search engines. I’ve had a few Russians comment, but they get nervous and don’t hang around.

I have had a few hits from Chinese servers, but the links were in English. That’s kind of odd because most times when I check the Great Firewall my site is blocked.

I’m aware you do it because I can’t comment when it happens. I don’t blame you, I’m getting hit again after a couple of months of quiet.

The Russians get nervous? Funny, it’s the other way around with me, when the Russians are around I get nervous. Won’t /can’t comment further, other than that I’m not talking about blog presence of Russians but rather physical presence of said Russians…

I haven’t gotten hair removal stuff but heaps of porn, escort services, and pharmaceuticals… What kind of woman do they think I am?

There’s a sizable Russian community in the San Francisco area, and not all of them are nice people. We would go up when I was at the Defense Language Institute at Monterey, and there were some “interesting” times. There was a good-sized KGB group among them and the Russian “mafia” is an amalgam of KGB and criminals.

They apparently are hoping to find out, Ellroon. The number of Russian sites I would click on is extremely limited because of the prevalence of hackers in Russia. Bulgaria is worse, but only for Apple users.
