Dave's back

Back after a helacious five days but a good five days. I think. Off to the DaveCave(tm) to check email but I thought I would check comment spam first and Boy Howdy was I ever rewarded... I announced my thirty-hour absence with intent: see what would crawl out from the basement apartment in their mamma's house. 21 attempts and zero successes. A couple of them had HTML content so screwed up, there is no browser that would have been able to parse it. A couple of them included an IP address from upstate NY that is linked to a known address of a botnet controller. That information has been passed on already... I have been toying around with some new code that should be even easier to administrate. Is there is anyone reading my words that runs one of these comment spam nets and could explain the following:
#1) - how much you make per month in actual (your currency of choice); and

#2) - how much could you be really earning if you spent your time at real work instead of these "get rich fast" scams
These idiots have been polluting the internet since day one. They were on BBS' before then. They were word-of-mouth, pamphlets, paid advertisements in newspapers and telegraph messages for several hundred years previous. Drums and smoke signals before that. Spam is not new... I ask you this: If I had a surefire way to make money, which would I do:
#1) -- sit back and amass a bleeding fortune, gobs of money, rich as a Senator? or:

#2) -- go out and try to share my surefire way with any idiot out there who could scrape up the price of entry...
And I'm not telling! Posted by DaveH at September 14, 2009 9:53 PM
