My apologies for all the spam related stuff lately, but these low-life scum-sucking pigs irritate the living shit out of me. My mailbox is full all the time (over 800 since Jan 1) and now the fuckers want to use webspace and bandwidth that I pay for so that they make money. No, I don't think so. I don't list referrals on the front page of Clack, so, even if I weren't blocking all the referral spam that comes in, it would serve them absolutely no purpose.
There is an upside to all of this, though. After some help from Zack and Richard getting started, I've learned WAY more about regular expressions, apache, and htaccess than I ever thought I might want to know.
So, without further delays, the latest entry on what a friend and coworker of mine called the "spam blog":
it seems that Starprose is using a new agent string....
