My on...Yes, I do agree that something must be done. My only issue with the whole thing is the way it's done. To totally shut off a legitimate blog does some harm to the blogger and Blogger/Google as they will be seen as non-responsive. <br /><br />Am I sorry it happened? Yes, whereas I do believe a simple email would have taken care of the problem without a lot of angst and total dislike for how the process was done. <br /><br />I also understand they need to make it hard because a lot of spammers use bots, but I never did feel I had a person just automated systems and that's what they want to avoid. I think it's weird for bots patrolling bots because that's what it is...kinda BSG for me.<br /><br />Lynn CrainLynn Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563978872099232823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-89615715868800128562012-08-13T15:52:34.160-07:002012-08-13T15:52:34.160-07:00Claude,
In theory, you're right.

H...Claude,<br /><br />In theory, you're right.<br /><br />But - - <br /><br />Have you ever had a headache, and take an Aspirin for relief ("Bayer AG")?<br /><br />Have you ever enjoyed a cold beverage, from a Thermos ("Thermos GmbH")?<br /><br />Have you ever relieved yourself standing, by opening your Zipper ("B.F. Goodrich")?<br /><br />And here's a good one!<br /><br />There are lots of abusers of a popular poppy derivative narcotic, who are unaware of another name, also owned by Bayer AG.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericized_trademarks" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericized_trademarks</a><br /><br />My guess is right now, more people think of "Spam" as undesirable Internet activity or content, then of a nasty canned meat substitute.<br /><br />So, dream on. 8-PNitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-12471321913072836592012-08-13T15:31:44.075-07:002012-08-13T15:31:44.075-07:00Isn't there a way to eliminate the term "...Isn't there a way to eliminate the term "spam" from the online terminology dictionary, or at least supersede this commercial food product that has absolutely no intelligent application to the traffic it purports to give title to? <br /><br />I mean, if "Spam" was suddenly found missing in the online terminology of everyone, what would be missing? <br /><br />Nothing. And, that's exactly my point.<br /><br />"spam," in Internet lingo, applies to anything at all! To one person, it means anything found anywhere that is disagreeable, in any measure. To another, unwanted ads, while ads for "acceptable" items, whether commercial or not, is "Friendly" information.<br /><br />To yet other individuals, it means that their eMail gets uninvited messages of any kind. To another individual, "spam" connotates anything unwanted found anywhere, from eMail to visited pages, to comments, to content on any web page!<br /><br />So, the commercial product named spam has not a whit of any measure of similtude to the "spam" term used synonymously with unwanted anything to anyone at any given moment of any online session on any given day, which can be unilaterally changed by anyone at any time to apply to anything different!<br /><br />So, PLEASE! let's knock off with the useless term, "SPAM!":-))Cra1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02690123639206948486noreply@blogger.com
