I just deleted 18,311 pending comments that had been submitted to this blog. 99.99% were spam, but 0.01% were real comments from real people, so I had to vet them one at a time. And I had to read a lot of spam.

Until now I'd turned a blind eye to the burgeoning mountain of crap - mostly because I'm extremely lazy - but also because at some point I thought it would be interesting to "write" a book about them. You see, individually they cause me pain... but en masse they give me great joy.

Such wordsmith-ery! The plan was to collate the cream of the 18,311-strong crop into an ebook and put it on Amazon for 99c. But I'd never be able to track down the original authors to share the wealth with them, so I just deleted the entire archive instead.

"What a crap". That's my favourite.
