Comment Spammer Interview

The Register has a great interview with a comment spammer. Why can’t News.com do that type of story?

If news.com does get an interview with this type of individual, may I request that they post his personal email address so we can share with him our love for comment spam?

Hahaha, that’d be a great request. I know I couldn’t do the interview.

You want first crack at a few? You’d have to call long distance, though. Either Bulgaria or Norway.

Am I the only one who noticed this obvious error:

“For Sam, every day brings more challenges. Not just from the angry bloggers; nor only from the search engines coming up with new algorithms and HTTP tags.”

HTTP tags? What on earth is a HTTP tag?

Surley the reporter meant a HTML attribute?
