MESSAGES FROM A BOTTLE

Several times a day spambots attempt to leave comments, hoping that this blogscribbler will not see through their sly subterfuging. But alas, machines and devious foreign conmen cannot understand the bloggomental dynamic, which demands that feedback be relevant to the post OR author under which OR whom it is appended, and above all NOT be a shameless attempt to direct traffic to their own unreadable website.

Sometimes they come very close. Still, no cigar.


This comment did not even come close.

Quote: "Βe determіned thаt the bed is for sleеpіng, not plаnning or stuԁyіng in. Eνеn moге ρertinent to panic attасkѕ іѕ the fact you are thе only one who cаn react to the ѕtimuli you еxperience. Арart from thіs, other thегapiеs like сognitive and bеhavior therapies aге offered to ρrovіԁe better tгeatment."
End quote.

Even in San Francisco (home of this blog), where people tend to have fluffy ideas about the universe and make attempts to either contact the space aliens or the tree-hugging dolphin within ourselves by chanting mantras and burning sage, there was no possible connection between the message about panicking in beds and an essay from five years ago underneath which the placement attempt was made.


THE MAD TYPOGRAPHER STRIKES

Seeding a text with a special script character so that it can subsequently be determined which websites and internet locations allowed it through is a rather useful trick. In this case, the most common one was г, that being the forth letter of the Cyrillic alphabet. The words in which it occurred should, because of this letter, be pronounced mowg, thughapies, aagh, and t'ghitmunt. Other ones were rho (ρ ) in rhertinent, and nhi (ν) in enen.

Previous baffling test-spammatographia have included omega (ω) and izhitsa (ѵ), as well as the word 'fastidious'.

Friendly message to spambots: It's all about cognition and behaviour. Or other deeply meaningful alternative methodologies. Cosmically it could be useful. Karmically, it may have content and meaning. If it can't be solved with wheatgerm and tofu, it's gotta be an evil typographic plot.
You dig, kemo sabe?


A LOT MORE NEATLY LIKED!

The second comment that stood out recently was a note of touching encouragement, perhaps composed in a language that wasn't English.

Quote: "What i do not understood is in fact how you're not really a lot more neatly-liked than you might be now. You're very intelligent. You recognize thus considerably in relation to this subject, made me in my opinion imagine it from numerous numerous angles. Its like men and women don't seem to be fascinated until it is one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your individual stuffs outstanding. At all times maintain it up! " End quote.


Yes, I am very intelligent. Thank you! And I also cannot understand why I'm not a lot more neatly liked. In the past few years, naught in toto has been accomplished with women, gaga or otherwise, despite the truly outstanding qualities of my individual stuff. Nevertheless, I shall continue to maintain it up at all times.

Your fastidious input is appreciated.
