Technology today is getting worse in my opinion, no one cares about the real issues, book banning is the US now, and has banned already over 300 amazing novels. Back in the days people would read for enjoyment, and to obtain knowlage, now books continue to get dusty, while we focus on these new technologies, that in my opinion, continue to make us stupider.

When I've followed the links they've entered for their URLs, you find an attempt (usually a poor one) at an ecommerce site or an ad-ridden "info site"...which they're trying to spawn links to. They seem to play some kind of keyword game. For example, the comment is about dog toys, the original post was about toys to avoid for exotic pets, and thus the connection is made..."toys". One guy got so obnoxious I had no choice but to block comments from his IP address.

(which may eliminate the "embarrass third" step!) heh heh As a San Antonian, I said "ouch" when I read this! Most of the folks I run into here are quite literate which, as a writer, makes my life a lot easier. Thanks for the grins, appreciate it!
