I GET COMMENTS

I get a lot of comment spam.
But, I am not always sure
if what appears is really Spam,
or just someone trying to saying hello.

So once in a while, I try to google it, & see where linking to the web address takes me. You never know.

I have no idea how the programs work which lets a Spamer seed the net with whatever he is trying to sell.

So much of this intrigues me.
I never know what treasures I'll find while exploring....
I am always expecting little miracles.
There is always a chance to meet a new friend.

The following message came in the other day:

Мы устанавливаем домашние кинотеатры- звоните нам.
Телефон на сайте.
(Product Name and Web Address deleted!)

I thought maybe this looked like Russian,
but I wasn't really sure.

Using the magic of Babel Fish, I checked it out.
Bingo!
Here is what these words meant:

We establish domestic cinemas. (name deleted) - you ring to us. Telephone on the site. (Web Address deleted because I'm betting this is Spam)

I found out this was about some video conferencing or acoustical product. But who sent it, I'll never know.

I have sent this to my blacklist.
Sorry if you were really only trying to find a friend.
