Spam and flagellation

There are always those spammers who hope that a piece of general flattery about your blog will tempt you into ignoring the generic unresponsiveness of the comment, or the link embedded in it.

Even while not being fooled, I shall treasure today’s example, which seems to have been through some kind of computer translation programme:

I absolutely enjoyed reading your blog and mark in back of surreptitiously it both communicative and interesting. I be converted into be steady to bookmark it and flagellate it as again as I can..

Somehow it put me in mind of the old testimony:

I used to be into flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality, but then one day I realised I was flogging a dead horse.

The adjective (as opposed to verb) means “like a whip or thread”. Maybe your spam bot is suggesting that it will join in a discussion thread?

You mean these comments are spam! Now I’m going to have to go back and remove them all. I just assumed the Chinese ones were evidence of the broad appeal of my blog.
