I have a feeling that, if done properly, banging one’s head against the wall in frustration might just be an effective method for weight loss. I can’t tell you for certain whether that’s true or not since I’m still a bit too dizzy to actually read what the scale says. And, darn, my forehead hurts.

What’s brought all this on? Oh, perhaps it was the nearly two hours I spent today deleting spam from my InBox and all four blogs. Sure, I’ve got programs that are supposed to filter that stuff out so I don’t have to deal with it, but somehow the spammers always seem to figure out how to slip past them.

Why can’t The Powers That Be who make spam filters can’t figure out that a spammer determined to leave a comment promoting, say, hoodia can easily squeak past the filter by spelling it with two zeros instead of “O”s?

Meanwhile, having waded through all of the adult-variety spam, my skin is crawling. Seriously, I thought I was somewhat twisted, and I do have an admittedly dark side. But compared to some of the crap the spammers are promoting these days, I look like an angel!
