I have comments generally moderated, or set to be approved by me before they are posted. I do this to prevent marketers spamming the site. Yesterday, I got 1 comment about 30 minutes after posting -- a beautiful example of a marketing troll. I can't believe someone actually used my snot sucker post as a marketing vehicle. Yes, someone submitted a comment that was oh-so-clearly just a marketing comment, aimed at driving potential customers to their special "nasal aspirator" (a.k.a. snot sucker) website. In fact, because their comment came so quickly after I posted my snot sucker article, I'm under the impression they used a service such as Google Alerts to alert them whenever a key phrase was posted, e.g. "nasal aspirator". In my opinion, "nasal aspirator" and "snot sucker" should be considered synonyms here. To yesterday's marketing troll, I advise you to create a new alert for "snot sucker" -- it's bound to keep you busy! Cheers, -Jeff Someone attempted to comment to this post yesterday.
