Oh, and:

not taken as spam, Lydia. My "karma fairy" comment was a response to someone - who I doubt is a regular reader and is very likely a clever 'bot - posting those "I find your blog interesting and relevant! So Click Here!" comments on posts 2, 3, and 4 years old. (I have comment moderation in place for older posts, so they get caught)

None of my regular readers I regard as ever spamming; it's people whose names I don't recognize who don't really say anything related to the post (see example above) but then drop in a link to their blog or splog or whatever....

I'm not sure the benefit of dropping spam links in old posts that are rarely read anyway, but it still ticks me off. If I wanted to have advertising on my blog, I'd expect to be showered with filthy lucre (or at very least, free craft supplies) for doing it.

I'm sorry about that. It had been a long day and my husband's gmail account had been deciding that my e-mail address was spam, so I'd been really twitchy, especially since I had long links in it.

I did like the idea of the Karma Fairy pooping on people. I found myself envisioning that to get through some moments with ...interesting individuals this week.
