TrackBack spam? Grrrr…

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on July 21, 2003). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Well, here’s a first (for me, at least) — I just got TrackBack spam. One of the posts on my other site — this one, to be precise — just got a TrackBack ping (which I’ve just deleted) with no information other than a URL pointing to, of all places, the Thessaloniki Port Authority (http://www.thpa.gr/ — I’m not giving them the Googlejuice of a live link).

Bad enough that they used TrackBack to spam me, but the Thessaloniki Port Authority? That’s just wierd. And on a computer-related humor post, too. Just bizarre.
