Spam

A number of sites seem to be getting weird spam that contain jumbled up phrases from elsewhere in the same site. It seems to be an attempt to get past Mollom and similar. Grmbl.

It's been a long time since I had a reason to use my Yahoo! account. The email service is poor compared to what either google, 1and1 or some hacking at my linode can provide, and appears to have an immense spam-count despite me never using it. As for the messenger service, well no-one on my buddylist seems to use yahoo any more, having abandoned it for the substandard* of Windows Live Messenger or having been seduced by skype.

As of today I'm deleting my yahoo account. It won't be missed.
