Note: The below is an archived entry from Earthling, formerly EarthLink's official blog. The blog itself has been decommissioned and is no longer updated, and comments are trackbacks are no longer accepted.
I've recovered all of the pre-existing comments, and everything should now be as it was. Apparently my penance for making the mistake in the first place was having to scan over 10,000 junk comments to find the regular ones. While I was in junkland, I noticed that many comment spam robots appear to be fans of Earthling. Just listen to some of the robots' ringing endorsements that I deleted while I was in there:
"Your guestbook is example of middle-class guestbooks. Congratulation! I�ll show your site and guestbook to my friends."
"The information is successfully classified. Reasonable structure of a site."
"The work the webmaster has done is worth bookmarking."
"Good site! The fresh actual information. "
Indeed.

To me, comment spammers are worse scum than email spammers. They don't even have the small redemption of offering something for sale. They're just abusing someone's property for completely unrelated gain.
Immoral and disgusting, IMHO.
