Fight toxic tort spam!
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] A personal injury lawyer? That hurts! Bush is right about the need for tort reform..... posted by Eric on 02.03.05 at 12:19 PM

sdfgasf geranioj · February 13, 2005 02:20 PM The Portraiture of Caligula and statue bases? I was wondering if someone could give me feedback on the number of portraits available vs. the number of extant statue bases for Caligula? In D. Boshung's "Die Bildnisse des Caligula". Boshung has many portraits attributed to the Emperor? It seems like too many in comparison to statue bases. (See 'Roman imperial Statue Bases-The project" on the net). geranioj · February 13, 2005 02:25 PM The Portraits of Caligula? What I am finding is that some scholars are using the hairstyle of pincers of known portraits to identify heads of Caligula. With all the numismatic evidence with legends to identify coins, this should be used more in Portrait study. After all we are trying to identify a person not a hairstyle, I also suppose there were contemporaries who wanted to resemble the Julio Claudian family for instance.
