1020 - Spam

Lacochran left a comment on yesterday post. I usually get an email when somebody does that. I double checked. No email. At least not on my PC. I download all my emails from the server, which means that some of them can get hung up in the servers spam box.

So I went and looked on the server. Something that I should do more often but you know how that goes. There was the email notification from yesterdays post, in the spam box. AND there were three more of LA's comment notifications there along with one from Candice, one from Lilu and one from Mistress.

Hmmmmmmm, four bloggers notifications wind up in my spam filter and they're all ...... female. I wonder if the spam filter knows something that I don't? Could it have something to do with the fact that computers were designs by guys? Is there some sort of recognition algorithm in spam filter that can recognize female comments?

I don't know what to think. When I figure it out I'll get back to you.

This happens to me periodically...for a few days, all my comments from everyone will end up in the spam folder. Then, magically, all is well again. It's just one of those bizarre computer things.

I'd comment to complain but it'll just get filtered out anyway... ;)

B - Everything about a computer is bizarre.

LA - What ever hex you put on the AT&T server worked. The comment email made it.

So I'm spam now, eh?

At least I'm tasty!
