A while ago, I deleted a comment left on an old post. I thought it was Spam, but I wasn’t sure. There was something about it, though, that made me research it a little bit, and I found that it was being left on a lot of blogs, which reinforced the notion that it was spam. The real story has come out now, and it’s mildly interesting.

Turns out the spammy comments were made by this guy, Seyed, to bump a negative story about his brother, Jim, off page one of a Google search. Interesting, if not the most appreciated, tactic.

Anyway, on Quit Your Day Job, Lee got Seyed to come out and answer a few questions. Based on his responses, it seems like Seyed reads my blog with some degree of regularity. To that, I say: Thanks! Please don’t spam me anymore, but I appreciate you bumping up my stats a bit. Hope you enjoy the posts.
