After a Monday morning facing overwhelming odds, I have admitted defeat. 2900 mails arrived in my mailbox this morning, and that’s just what got through the mail server’s spam filters.<\/p>\n

So, I’ve had to wave the white flag and reduce civil liberties (apologies for the mixed martial metaphors, but it suits the moment). No more trackback on my blog – I’m a big fan of their convenience, but am getting annoyed that they’re almost always spam.<\/p>\n

And secondly, I’m going to send wildcard emails to \/dev\/null. So if you mispell my name, or if you’re one of the few who’re tapping into their muse, and mailing me at something like dumbidiot@greenman, almightygod@greenman or hotandsweaty@greenman (or one of the multitude of other domains), alas, I won’t get the mails anymore.<\/p>\n

A sad day for freedom of expression indeed!<\/p>\n
