SPAM Variations

Because I don't have Captcha for commenting, I do get a little spam every day in my comments.  I can afford to, because with 3600 posts, the very seldom hit a recent one.  For reasons I still have not divined, a very few posts get a large percentage of my spam, including "Black Vocalization Style," and "Types of Violence," both from the summer of 2009.

Today's seems to be some sort of machine translation, or the work of someone working from a dictionary rather than actual knowledge of English.  I wonder if it is possible to tell what the originating language is, that has triumph instead of "first," or "premier,"and Rejuvenation for "Renaissance."
But the artists from different countries and singular periods focused on different factors, therefore they created odd styles. After criterion, the Italian artists of the Rejuvenation emphasised on the squander of chiaroscuro. The incomprehensible objects in a painting is shrouded in the shadow. The borders threshold of evolve and darkness were transited softly, which created an truly of focused and unaware. The “Madonna of the Roacks” from L. da Vince is a elected of this style. Titan from Italy is the triumph artist who outstandingly emphasized on the performace of color. He apinted on the murky cellar, and employed aglow color to constitute a magnificent golden tone.

  1. After a few go-rounds with blurry Captcha elsewhere I followed your lead and got rid of it--but comments on articles older than two weeks are moderated. Of course I don't get nearly the traffic you do, and I've only had to dispose of two rune-gold comments.

  2. I logged on here specifically to say that your boss (The Village Idiot--used the nym "gyy" hads made a "comment" to an article about Pinker and don't remember seeing that recently and decided I should come look for it.

    Thank you for not using the "captcha" thing.

    I'm OK with moderation after a few hours unless there is a lively "on topic" stream flowing.

    Yer doin fine.

  4. There's something hypnotic about those not-quite-English compositions. Have you ever tried to imitate the style? It's not easy. They make me think of "The Ophiuchi Hotline," where the humans keep receiving interstellar transmission they can only partially decode. For many years, the bits that can be understood are found to contain technological information of fantastic value. One day, a new message comes:

    SUBJECT: OPHIUCHI HOTLINE TRANSMISSION OF 1249 HOURS 44.3 SECONDS UT, 8/14/570.
