These are comments left on a recent diary. For some reason I find the intrigue fascinating. I thought the article was interesting and even recommended it, but I found myself retracting my recommend after I read all of the comments. It seems that the mere suggestion that some sort of game is afoot is enough to spook weary readers away. I was spooked enough to retract my recommend even though I liked the story. The story wasn't bad. Was it true? No one commented on that. so I don't know. I do however feel grateful for having been properly warned. :o)
Anonymity preserved because I'm not trying to poke fun at anyone. I appreciate the vigilance that has maintained the integrity of Dailykos so well. I also Recognize that there are bad actors who can play all kinds of games not the least of which is clogging the content stream with superfluous junk. Consider this a tribute to that well balanced spirit.

It doesn't ask that you buy anything, or even go to a web site.
Further, I find it really educational to read how a person, little more than a hundred and fifty years ago could invent something like that. How many of us do that today? No, Facebook doesn't count.
a Google search shows this same exact text (0+ / 0-)
posted to at least seven different blogs and websites.
So it's obviously spam.
What I don't get is what the spammer gains by posting it . . . ?
