"Go away kid, you're botherin' me"*

I found the followin' comment on my site yesterday:

your web page is rubbish there isnt anything on alomst you need to improve it a lot no wonder you hardly have anyone looking on your web site
O' course, immediately I deleted such, as such comment was pure rubbish, especially if you consider the post to which it was attached. I did, however, respond to the commenter via email to Dawnkid39@aol.com,** thusly:
So, if I may ask, where is yours? I would love to see how one is supposed to be done.
I jes' found the followin' reply in my inbox:
its my opinion and i think it is rubish and i have proof so shut up
I'll agree that such is an opinion and I also agree that such opinion is rubbish, and I think you havin' 'spressed such is 'bout all the proof that I or any of my mature adult readers need to come to the conclusion your opinion is worth less than the effort it took any of us to read it.

If you really want the canned-meat-produced scavengers to collect that address, add the appropriate href code as well. Like this:

... will barrage said dawnkid39@aol.com with messages ...

Even the slowest of web crawling scum-sucking-bottom-trawling scripts will notice that href code :-)
