Funny Blog Spam

I got this as part of the Zenoss comment spam today and it was too funny. Note the highlighted portion of his pitch.

“hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments , I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me icq XXXXX or write me XXXXXX(at)yahoo.com , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you”

I was tempted to reply to Richard with this note:

Richard, this sounds like an excellent deal. Can your provide some references? Can you introduce me to your friends? I am trying to help the deposed billionaire prince of Nigeria get his fortune out of the country, maybe they can help me get the word out. Best Regards, Mark
