The Blogger spam filter usually does an excellent job of quarantining them before they get a chance to appear on the relevant post (I only see them via an email link), but today, it went too far. Yes, the comment is by "anonymous". Yes, it appeared on a post I made back in November 2009, about nothing in particular. But there's no link to click. And I really can't understand why anyone would bother spamming it, unless they want to encourage as much self-referential droning as possible to clog up the internet.
I'm as narcissistic and in need of validation as the next person, and for this reason I have rescued it from spam box purgatory. You never know, much like Astrology (which only ever "makes sense" when it tells you your life is about to improve immeasurably) it might even be authentic. Except I'm still pretty sure astrology's a pile of crap.
"Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "the most spontaneously arranged plans....":
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace. "
Anonymous, I honestly could not have put it better myself. Except that with my clearly obvious abilities, I probably would have spelt possess correctly. I fully concur that the content of my blog is both demonstrative and upper-class - in fact you pretty much have summed up my vision for it. And as for the theme... Well, I'm afraid I must take all the credit for that too.
I'm available for consultancy work should anyone wish to get in touch via the usual channels (i.e. a comment on a post about what I had for my tea, from March 2008).
