Dear Spambots:

Please stop. Your attempts to build a link farm via entries on this blog which are greater than 4 years old are not to be successful, and any sense of victory your controllers may feel in their cold silicon hearts is pyrrhic at best.

Thanks,
Mgmt

P.S. As if you ever wanted to comment legitimately, entries are being shut down.
