It's getting so that if I see "blogspot" (which some wag cleverly called
"clogspot" - brilliant) I just figure it for spam and ignore the poster.  It's
not like they tell us why we should risk our time and our computers' security
to click their link.

I guess I'm going to be a bigot (although when one draws conclusions based on
evidence at least it's not prejudice) and declare all "blogspot" notifications
pure crap.

At least it doesn't look like blogspot's fault but the author's.  Here's where
that stupid link leads:

Why do they bother?

Very likely some trademark/copyright infringement.
Hope I don't regret that statement. :(

Here is the reponse from Google concerning my recent
abuse report:

Because he's sitting at his home with all his lack of skill, ambition,
motivation
self-determination, sense of ethics or civility,and with nothing else to do.
His high-speed internet connection and beer bill are starting to mount,
The paychecks from his wife's two extra minimum wage jobs just don't
seem to stretch as far as they used to, and he is hoping to make some
easy money "off the internet".
