I have been plagued with spammers since I took over Jon. The new thing is they try to put stories in with their spam, and use a shotgun approach to target everyone who could be remotely interested.
We get them here where they make an introductory post but the words sound like they came from a computer. Their lack of understanding of English is what gives them away.
I banned this one spammer a few months ago but left his post up minus the URL reference he wanted. His rant was so funny it made me laugh, so I kept it. Makes for good entertainment in the winter. And if you could get your spammer to come back, it would be great.
Just for kicks, someone on your site should send him an e-mail asking him to return and answer questions about the crossbow. If he does, it could be worth the popcorn.
Travis Bickle would be proud.
