Yeah... the words "loan" and "rates" are often caught by spam filters. They're doing the same thing people do in AOL and other "monitored" chat rooms to get around their profanity being blocked - spaci ng in the wo rds.

And of course, if you followed the link they give you to remove you from future mailings, you get put on lists for many other places who'll be more than happy to send you more spam. Lovely, the electronic information age, isn't it?

There iss this right wing asshole who posts on Mt. Blogmore. Anyone who doesn't agree with him is a socialist.

He was sending in comments about other posters and he included the term socialist.

It didn't get posted.

He tried it a couple more times. None of those got posted.

Finally he sent the comment without 'socialist' in it. It went through.

So he complained about his first amendment rights and how dare the moderators of the blog censor him, how dare they not allow him to use the term 'socialist.'

The blog had no such policy, but in a way he was right that the term socialist was what was blocking his comment.

Like any blog, their comments get spammed at Blogmore. So they have filters in place to keep certain things out. The term 'socialist' was in fact what was preventing the comment from going through. The term socialist was the problem, or at least a progression of letters in the middle of the word. Cialis. Blogmore was blocking the term Cialis.
 
oh, that's too funny. I wonder if the creators of Cialis realize what a monster that created.
