My Way of Living + thankful

So what’s with al the spam comments lately? Thankfully Google is doing it’s job, and only a few of them fall through the cracks. But really, what are they thinking? The spammers have changed tactics and now are masquerading as readers who comment.
Not hard to see through them. Track down those spammers Charlie, go get em.
The typical comment goes something like… ”I just discovered your blog… blah blah blah, and here, click on this link to my virus.” Ah ha… sure…
Or “nice post — now buy some of my fake handbags”… sure. Anyone else being spammed to the gills?
They are attacking my old blog posts with a vengeance, I have regularly been getting around 5 — 6 per day. And lately that has almost tripled, don’t know what I did to attract them, any answers? How many are you getting? Any, lots?
And does anyone else who has comments emailed to them through Google, find that anonymous commenters are put into the spam box right away, even if they are a regular reader, just curious.
