I'm grateful that my blog posts attract lots of engaged, funny, and challenging comments. But any popular post also attracts spammers. I use Antispam Bee to automatically eradicate a couple of hundred crappy comments per day. Nevertheless, some get through. Here's a particularly pernicious one - it appeared as three comments ostensibly in reply to each other. At first glance these look like …

The first picture is my #gmail spam folder which I normally don’t open. The email with the invitation references is there.
The second picture is an alert from my calendar app. I also got one for the Apple calendar app, before that.

Spammer: Excuse me for interrupting you.
Me: Oh, you're not interrupting. I was awaiting your email with antici.... pation. I'm still waiting for the pleasure, BTW.

We got "medical" news from "real" "doctors" who went to "universities."
