"Destroying species is like tearing pages out of an unread book, written in a language humans hardly know how to read, about the place where they live."

- Holmes Rolston III, Duties To Endangered Species

I get more and more pleasure out of spam these days thanks to the multiple quotations that are used to help disguise the true intent of the communication. The one above came from a spam Trackback ping that I received today.

I realise that I'm not the first person to have received it, but I have to admit that I find myself almost jealous of the quality of the spam-quotes to be found in this page. I've seen so-called literary websites that are less erudite.

I haven't actually read my spam for ages. I remember when I did it used to be pretty dull - lots of Simpsons quotes and the like. Nice to see they're going up market.
