I'm noticing something about Spam this Christmas season. I posted on blog/wiki spam dropping off the other day - apparently, that's done on something resembling a 9-5 work schedule. Email spam though? That's just relentlessly bot driven. Cincom mostly shuts down over the holiday, so it's more obvious: real mail disappears, so all I see is the spam. And boy of boy, is there ever spam :)

It's an interesting difference. I guess email is still easier to automate; after all, to target my blog server, someone has to either manually go at it, or take the time to create a bot that specifically targets it (the servlets and web forms ar all things I created myself).

Hmm - there's a test I could run. I could try changing all the form field names and see what happens...
