If there's one thing more idiotic than comment spam, it's trackback spam. Why on earth anyone would do this I don't know. I have long suspected that much of the spamming has no business purpose (for what blog reader would actually click on a spam link and buy the product?) but is generated to satisfy the deeper psychological urges of the spammer. I've been getting hundreds of trackback spams, and I finally configured MT-Blacklist to delete them.

Most of them link to sites which sell nothing! And last night I was spammed by a purported "personal injury lawyer" whose URL is dead -- and whose spam originated in San Nicolas de los Garzas, Mexico. Here's what the idiotic spam says:

URL: [omitted lest the asshole derive any feeling of satisfaction from his blog pollution]

who have been injured either financially or physically due to the fault of
another.

A personal injury lawyer? That hurts!

Bush is right about the need for tort reform.....
