SPAM Is Good – No SPAM Is BAD!
Feb 11th, 2006 by Don Ray
One thing I learned that I liked when I moved to Panama was Lite SPAM. Yum. I remember my mom and dad ate it when I was a kid. I tried it after I moved to Panama. I like it fried, I like it straight out of the can. It is good in a salad. It is good in a sandwich with lettuce and tomato. I try to keep a can in the pantry for those emergencies when you just don’t want to fix something complicated. Sometimes I have found that it is not available in the supermarkets here in David and that will be one of the inventory items I will look for next Wednesday in El Rey. Yes I think this SPAM is good.
However, I today I have focused on another type of SPAM, the Internet type. I have a SPAM filter on my email so that takes care of most of the email SPAM that I receive. If I get a new email from a source I don’t want to receive email from, I just mark it as spam and I never see another email from that source. I use SPAM Inspector. Recently something has happened and Chiriqui Chatter has started receiving a tremendous increase in comment SPAM. I mean to the point that I am getting hundreds a day.
Today, I decided I had had enough and I activated a new feature (plug-in that comes with WordPress 2.0) that eliminates all recognized comment SPAM. Since I turned it on this morning it has captured 82 SPAM comments.
Hello Don:
I know what you mean. Getting rid of those germs is a monumental task. As you know, I’m using Blue Security to help me weed spam from my Yahoo and Thunderbird email accounts.
Good luck on your endeavor.
So far so good.
Cheers,
Omar.-
