I have a spike in stupid spam, and it's breaking my Bayesian filter--I haven't had this many false positives since I installed the damned thing.

Most of the spam (that it's not catching) is very obvious to the human eye: invest smart-166837278 or account-4545540494, and no text in the body, just a PDF-extension attachment.

Omnis: right now they are talking about the wording of the poll. Once the wording is settled on then the polling of the actual poll will be announced.

Yes, right now it's a chance for everyone to look over the poll and make sure that the wording is clear or offer suggestions.

So if you read it and want to add something please do!

re: poll. thats what I thought. I just wanted to make sure. Gots to vote! Me'z a good city-zen!

As for the SPAM, I've been getting a ton of "you received a greeting card from ___" where the blank changes from: neighbor, friend, roommate, worshiper, etc etc. Like 40-50 a DAY.

I've had a handful of the greeting card and invest variety, but nothing crazy. Must be getting caught somewhere. I haven't had so many of the random text variety either. Those are kinda fun.

My SPAM seems to be about the same as ever.

Toto's e-mail box's SPAM tends to be mostly in Chinese. It cracks me up.

Maybe she has a shitzu pen pal.

Insurance~ma for Theo.

Thanks guys, for all the good wishes. The ma is powerful stuff.

Congratulations, Corwood and Mrs.! Welcome Little One, to the bright new world. May your journey be blessed.

It's still Deena's birthday! Felicitations, oh marvelous Deena, on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day. May the celebrations and tribute be worthy of you, and may the year ahead be full of challenges met and new ones set, and lots of time to enjoy both!

Felicitations, too, on the Anniversary of the Miracleborns' Wedding Day(after. sorry)! May the coming year be full of fulfillment and reward for your willingness to make important changes and take calculated risks. You deserve the best--may some of it come your way!

Also, congratulations to ND and Kristin on your anniversary! Despite setbacks and various troubles, it's wonderful to see you working together to overcome and manage them, as well as forging ahead into your combined future!

Healing thoughts and wisdom to the doctors of Anne's stepdad and d's dad.

Congratulations on baby heartbeat to Stephanie. Squeeze Ellie for me--she won't remember me, but I remember her (and you!).

Glad to hear better news of your BIL, Cashmere. May he continue to improve without complications.

Daisy, you're a fantastic friend. Reading the saga of L's life I can only be grateful and glad she has you for backup.

Also, it's so very odd reading all your "My south" thoughts. Very nostalgic, for all of you who've left. I read and nodded along, but nothing read enticing enough to make me want to stay. Want out now.

David, I was so sad to hear about Emmett's day yesterday. But it sounds like he had a better one since, so that's good.

I am staunchly resisting comment on the Duggars, and shall continue to do so.

I got a call from Disney about an hour ago. It looks like I'm designing a show on their cruiseline.
