17/06: No Comment
Hey all:
Yes, it happened. The spammers won, though it was an empty battle for them. I disabled my "comments" function. I was getting thousands of spam messages, and the intrusion was putting me in a bad mood. It's curious me that people who launch spam would think their efforts would breed anything but contempt. Actually, there seems to be evidence that "shoved down your throat" mass marketing doesn't work. For a fun read, check out Purple Cow--it's a great little book on anti-mass marketing, on making a product or business a standout, or "purple cow" rather than the topic of redundant advertising (listen up, Anatrim and Viagra).
I have had the opportunity to talk to some folks who visit the loft regularly, so I know you're out there, despite your "no comment" status. So sorry.
Best, Laurie
P.S. Though you can't comment here, you can reach me via my website: www.wakingdesire.com, and I would love to hear from you!
