a funny way to make a living

gabe discovered that the code4lib.org drupal instance was littered with comment spam. Someone had actually registered for an account and proceeded to add comments to virtually every story.

Since there was an email address associated with the account I figured I’d send an email letting them know their account was going to be zapped.

Excuse me. Why are you posting spam to my drupal
site? Consider your account removed.

I really didn’t expect a reply, but sure enough a few hours later:

    I’m amazed that they wrote back so apologetically instead of ignoring you. They must get hate mail all the time. What a sad job.
