Some Spam Is Too Good to Delete
We've been getting lots of comment spam on this site recently. Usually we delete it as soon as it comes in, but two comments that came in today deserve to be immortalized.
Here's the first, from someone selling boots: "In this article, I learned the knowledge that will good for myself. Thanks to the author of this article. You are my lucky." I've never been someone's lucky before, so this is oddly touching.
Here's the second, from an online term paper mill: "Thanks because that’s the interesting.If you need to get a excellent paper all about this topic you can use online plagiarism, and i'll approve you to check it in [Web address deleted]! unlike those services, they suggest wonderful quality guaranty that your work is free of plagiarism." Wow, you can plagiarize without plagiarizing! That is innovative! Of course, such illiterate ramblings might put off some potential buyers, but students looking to find term papers online probably aren't the most discerning customers.
Sorry if I've strayed from our normally earnest work here at LFA. I just couldn't let these comments fade to black.
