Spamalot

I am beginning to think of abandoning my LJ.  Like an old and ill-maintained house it is becoming riddled with vermin.  My last post had more spam than it had comments -- 18 to delete.  Of course you don't see them, and I suppose I could just ignore them, but I regard the journal as a sort of archive (vanity?) -- anywya I've often gone searching in it for wise or clever things you or I have said, or points of interest.  Now I go back to older posts to find them infested, as though I opened an old drawer and found mouse-nests in the linens.

Do we all have this?  Or only the oldest tenants?
