Slowing down... to a stop

Well, less than a year into this particular blog, I am putting this one down for the most part. My schedule is getting increasingly busy and there are a few things in place that look (hopefully) like I will be leaving the IT world and getting back towards more programming/analysis. Therefore I can't afford to give this blog any real attention.

To be fair, in the time that Spamblogging has been here, we have covered pretty much everything that can be covered about spam. There really is only so much that can be said about spam/anti-spam before it just gets so that the same things are repeated all of the time.

I won't shut this down entirely, but I will be posting much less (and had already backed off on it as it was). I have turned off comments for the whole site since I have been getting a ton of comment spam lately and it is too annoying to have to clean out nearly 1K spam comments a day (not to mention the huge amount that get blocked by MT-Blacklist).

If for some reason you need to get in touch with me, my e-mail is on the site in many place.

If you want to still follow a spam blog, there are others out there. They each have their merits and faults as does any blog - so try them all out and hopefully none of them are as bitter and jaded as I have become ;)
Here is a short list that I know of for following the spam news:

1. Google News: spam
   
2. Aunty Spam


3. The Spam Weblog (part of Weblogs Inc)


4. Spamfo

So I guess the nerd closing should be "So long and thanks for all the fish."
