Spam Spam Spam

Ok, ya got me. Lots of spam slipping through today, and I am desperately wondering what Britney Spears has to do with Microsoft.

Every now and then I have these days where I have to sift through a bunch of spam that sneaks through our filters, and I just wonder why. What does anyone have to gain by posting nonsensical strings of random characters?

Whoever you are, I would strongly advise channeling all that energy into something more productive.

Thanks. Really.
