  22. :catthinking:

    "very interesting, but nothing sensible"

    I do publish nonsense... and if this were a comment to my nonsense, it would be a compliment.

    Alas. This was posted into an actual article of mine in which I was arguing for a position. As such, it is an insult.

    Maybe the spammer was confused????
