Comment Spam In The Running For Golden Bull Award
July 25th, 2005 at 11:48pm
The recent comment spam has now officially been entered in the Plain English Campaign‘s Golden Bull Awards.
I received an email from Tony Maher, General Manager of the Plain English Campaign a few hours ago in which he wrote:
I will certainly enter this into our ‘Golden Bull’ awards for you.
Exactly what the author was trying to achieve is beyond me.
Well Tony, it is beyond me too!
Incidentally, I wrote the comment spammer an email in which I said:
For some strange reason, I almost find your comment amusing
He replied with:
Thanks Samuel…
Howdy
(His/Her Website which doesn’t deserve a mention)
Please note: message attached
But there were no attatchments, so I suspect that this person is possibly from another planet, or at least trying to appear that way.
I regularly receive Plain English Campaign newsletters and follow their awards closely, so I will attempt to keep you informed.
Samuel
