Comment Spammers Unite

Posted by Ted

A marvellously generous blogger named Michele Agnew will donate $1 to Oxfam’s tsunami relief for every comment to this post (until she closes it; I think that she’s already gone well above and beyond her original plan of keeping it open for 24 hours.) I’m getting to this very late in the day, but don’t hesitate to try.

UPDATE: Her comment thread is now closed after 500 comments. Many thanks to Michele, and many thanks to everyone who had a chance to participate.

Thanks for linking to Michele- and a good cause.

Class act.

I can’t see a single person responding to this idea.

It’s nice that she’s giving money to charity, but I don’t see the point in tying the amount given to the number of comments added to a post. Just seems sort of random to me.

I think you guys are mistakenly commenting to this post in the belief that John’s phrase “this post” refers to this post. In fact, it refers to the post his link points to on Michele’s blog.

Yes, I was. Argghhh.

What a wonderful thing to do - yay Michele!
