Your New Yearsn Buyllsh%$ Debunking

You may have received an email describing Silver pockets full that goes something like this:

August, next year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens only once every 823 years. The Chinese call it 'Silver pockets full. " So: send this message to your friends and in four days money will surprise you. Based on Chinese Feng Shui. Whoever does not transmit the message ... may find themselves poor.
It's crap.

Comments Will Be Moderated for a While

Recently, I have gotten a lot (for this blog, anyway) of spam comments on my blogs.

Hair extensions, office furniture, and tools.

Just to clarify my comments policy:  I moderate ONLY for spam.

I have few enough readers as is.

The "tell" for spam is generic text, and a link to some sort of unrelated commercial activity.

If the link is germane, it's OK, but this is almost never a link for a good or a service.

If you feel that you have been targeted unfairly, contact me.

If you want to post an ad on my blog, we can talk terms.
