Opportunistic comments on Blogs

Whenever I check the comments on my blog, I come across the many opportunistic comments by persons latching on to the blog for a chance to sell something, raise an interest in a product or gain insight into the bloggers and the commenters preferences. Mostly these attachements are benign. But earlier today I had a funny occurence. Funny, because the sender wrote in another language, hoping to get by undetected. Well the hapess man, I assume from the text that it is a man, did not know--how could he--that I can read Cyrillic. Not only can I read it but I still remember quite a few Russian words, for I spoke it once almost fluently. So how could he know that I would erase his blog instantly, while laughing out aloud. Here is why--the Russian visitor to my blog was an ordinary pimp, advertising young girls for hire. The word he used was prostitutky in cyrillic. Well he is gone from my site and I hope he does not come back. As a precautionary measure, I will eradicate all foreign language comments in languages I do not speak.


By the way, here is a word to the guy who commented that my blogs have been a little blah lately. Thanks for the critique--it woke me up.


 In the days to come I will be blogging a lot--perhaps on a site from my publisher to announce my book's arrival on the internet. There will be four. Escaping The Twilight--story of a woman in the Sudan, and the trilogy The Volga Flows Forever. First out will be Catherin, story of a great female monarch. Followed by The Volga Germans, story of the German emigre`s to Russia during Catherin's reign, and From Gulag to Freedom, story of the selfsame people under the Stalinistic regime. I do hope that a few of you following my blog are avid readers and interested in a wide variety of topics. You must be, or you would not read my eclectic blog.
