Just to save some annoying people some time, you should all be aware that I delete "pre-fabricated" comments when I see them. Some readers/spammers have taken it upon themselves to submit comments that are just long, pre-written essays on barely-related topics, many of which are lifted directly from other blogs, such as Kos or Atrios. I certainly don't mind people posting links to just about anything they want, but please don't cut and paste essays.

The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
I call them blog leeches. They are virtually all people who don't have thier own blog (or at least don't reference them in the URL field) but want to steal your bandwidth and your investment in building a reader base to smear thier own intellectual feces across the blogosphere.
They usually do the same thing over and over, and have a pet position that they pimp on another blog over and over, regardless of what the topic is. The last one I had was "gay marriage." Post on evolution? Cut and paste in an article from gay.com on gay marraige. Post about a new gun I bought? Cut and paste in another article about gay marraige.
These people are stealing, pure and simple. They aren't communicating with you. They are trying to steal what you have invested in your blog for thier purpose, and that puts them on the same level as spammers. They are BELOW trolls.
