“The Golden Era Of Spam Comments Has Ended”
Well it seems to be having its last stand on VOA’s blog pages.
Somehow I was just reminded of the late 90s, when people would spam me in person, e.g. at the airport: “Hello, do you work with computers? Have you been on the internet yet? I’ve got an opportunity here…” etc. etc. I’m told that the “Computers” section at the bookstore was a bad place for it, but it never happened to me there.
(And I guess it never really went away: as recently as 3 years ago, I had some guy go thru his spiel while I was trying to eat a sandwich. He asked, “are you interested in a challenging opportunity?” I replied “Nah, I’m pretty well set in my ways.”)
