The latest kind of blog-attacking spam just revived passions in my heart against/for this industry
I’m sure the automatic notification email sent to AVTG’s suscribers will go directly to the spam folder due to the awkward repetition of the word spam in this post about spam. You are free to stop reading if you feel spammed at this point. Gearbits.com (Craig Froehle) is the first blog I’ve heard of receiving trackback spam attacks (just after myself). This happens when bloggers around the world seemed to have eradicated comment spam attacks. I’m experiencing all this drama too but apart from the obvious I’m-highly-annoyed rant, I have to say that I feel the same morbid interest for the people/strategy/technology behind the spam industry as I have always felt for the virus/antivirus industry. I mean, it keeps freaking me out that they are actual industries with big money involved. There’s nothing I’d love to see more than Michael Moore’s approach to the topic 
. Seriously!
