edenfallingGenerally, I have been very lucky in my interactions with the internet. I have never had a computer disabled by malware or viruses, I have almost never been flamed or received truly offensive reviews, and my email accounts get relatively little spam (all of which, thus far, has been immediately identifiable as spam). I suspect this makes me react more strongly to minor incidents than other people might, since I don't have a thick skin developed via painful personal experience.
Which preface is by way of leading up to a complaint about the internet, obviously enough. *wry*
Over the past two weeks spammers have taken to attacking one of my old LJ entries with one to five comments per day. I've been tagging them as spam and deleting them as soon as I see the notifications, but they keep coming -- sometimes in English, sometimes in Russian, and sometimes in complete and utter gibberish.
I have no idea what makes that post so attractive. I mean, it's from freaking September 2005, and it's not even fanfiction or proper meta. It's just me blathering about writing -- mostly about "Secrets," a little about "The Way of the Apartment Manager," and, though I didn't realize it at the time, about the first nudge of an idea that would later grow into "Fixation, and Other Stories." There is no reason for the entry to be linked anywhere and no reason for anyone to ever discover it in the depths of the internet.
I have received three spam comments on my master fic stickypost over the same period, but those are explicable and expected; it's the first post on my journal and therefore an obvious target. This other post, though... I got nothing.
Spammers baffle me.
