I would like to address today a major annoyance in blogging.  I'm talking about you spammers from cash loans, payday loans, discount prescription drugs and the like.

Statement of fact...  I will NEVER approve your comments.  I put the comment feature up for people who genuinely want to discuss the topics.  When I see a name that even looks like spam, I immediately and enthusiastically hit DELETE.  Now I would prefer that you don't use my blog to try and sell your less than ethical *crap*.

Seriously, I'm a web professional in my day job.  I know how the internet works and your trying to improve your placement on search engines by getting as many link backs to your site as possible.  I dig that, I understand.  However, find another fool who will let any comment just pass through.  This will not and will never be me.

So, if you want to engage a conversation with me:

• Don't add your website unless it is relevent to the conversation
• Address the conversation directly.  Mention the topic or something from the post you're commenting on.
• Don't be a critic of my theme, I chose it because I like it.
• I don't use wordpress, I will never use wordpress, so don't try to send me a link to a wordpress theme site.
• Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, pick a pleasant Gravitar.  Some of the ones I've seen are just mean.
