Two very entertaining bots recently wandered into my site. I thought I’d tell you about them before spamming them.

Anton Egorov says:

“Hello, excuse, I can bad speak on English . . . I have found yours blog through search google, I was interested with your texts, I could translate them on Russian, for the in the small edition of our company? I would be grateful to you. Thanks.”

Dear Anton:

Why would I want someone who can speak bad on English to translate my blog posts? Get lost somewhere else in cyberspace!

Then, there is Comment Poster. This one comes from a real website that tries to sell us software so that we can send out bots day and night posting inane comments. Comment Poster says:

“Post comments on websites automatically using automated comments posting software. Get thousands of backlinks per day, increasing your sales and earnings. Automated comments poster is the best way to build backlinks and promote websites automatically.”

Dear Comment Poster:

I am seriously thinking about suing you. You are harassing me personally and equipping others to do the same.
