The Internet is Fucked Up

Major annoyance of recent weeks: spammers using this domain as their return address, meaning I get all their bounces. It’s happening to quite a few people lately, apparently. I had it once before about a year ago, but on a much smaller scale (i.e. fewer bounces, for whatever reason).

I don’t know what the point of spam is. No one I know gives it the time of day. It’s a festering, parasitic nuisance and, I tend to think, a singularly ineffective method of advertising. More than anything else, you have to figure the people doing this are the saddest bastards on the planet—so much effort for shit that no one ever reads.

And, case in point, I get tons of spam comments submitted to this site. But the comments are fucking well moderated. None of them get through unless I approve them, and why the hell would I do that? No one wins! Duhhh.

Like I said, the Internet is fucked up. If you ask me, the world was a better place before all this electronic garbage proliferated, mumble mumble, jumpers for goalposts…
