Cue Monty Python’s Spam music.  I do enjoy reading some of the atrocious spam comments that come in.  I admit, some of them I go ahead and allow just for chits and grins. 

     However, if you’re going to spam me please don’t go overboard in your praise of my site.  I know better.  Sugary overdoses of accolade make me want to go on a diet.  I may be a gardener, but excessively flowery praise raises my hackles.  Believe me when I say that you aren’t nearly as clever as you think you are. 

     Did you know that Akismet catches you every time?  I am silly enough to slip a few of you through the barricades.  I only do it for extreme cleverness, a particularly good turn of phrase, or if I am in a silly mood.  Don’t depend on my moods.

     For those of you that don’t have a web site through WordPress I will elaborate.  Akismet is the spam catcher for WordPress and it does a terrific job.  Some spam never even makes my spam folder.  Those that do get past Akismet I must sort through and delete.  I delete 99% but there’s something about that 1% I let through that I can’t resist allowing.
