Comments on: Eggs, bacon, sausage, and spamI am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.By: Maurizio Morabito- August 21, 2007 Phil My comments are marked as "spam" wherever I post them from (work, library, home) so I don't think it's a matter of IP addresses. I am using IE6. I have tried with a dummy name, e-mail and URL but nothing changed. So for the time being I "only" have to wait for you to let my comments through. A bit of a pain for us both. Is there a way you can whitelist "me" You have my private e-mail address, from the comments and from our exchange about National Geographic some time agohttp://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/08/11/eggs-bacon-sausage-and-spam/#com...

As it happens, I saw nine real angels yesterday at my Aunt Helen's funeral, come to carry her to her final rest, and they had nothing to do with visions, or invisible people, or pareidolia.

To be fair, that guy's list of crimes far exceeds just the spam kingpin. Apparently there are drug charges and threats to kill the children of a witness against him. Still, I seem to recall from a few years ago some prominent person (a judge) declaring in the media, "What we need is a few public hangings of spammers".http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/08/11/eggs-bacon-sausage-and-spam/#com... By: MichaelS- August 13, 2007 I remember some site that had a similar approach to CAPTCHA that did something like "type the word 'hi' in the box below", and apparently that eliminated a decent portion of the humans too.

Then ask fairly easy questions like "What office does President Bush hold" or "What planet does the Moon orbit" I'd think anyone smart enough to be blind and still.http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/08/11/eggs-bacon-sausage-and-spam/#com... |
