There's one entry of mine that gets spammed every couple of days--the last part of Useful Arts. Why is that? Any theories?

One of my posts from years ago gets spammed all the time. I think it's because I have the word 'porn' in it. Lately a short entry I made on my LJ about Lady Gaga gets spammed too.

I so missed your complexly motivated, often easy to empathize with Lex when reading the relatively simplistic New 52 reboot of Luthor as super-intelligent, but basically representing "the worst in all of us"--or words to that effect, per Morrison's commentary at the end of issue #2. Although I suppose the newly retconned-in Kryptonian goat in a spacesuit that crash-landed in Metropolis does provide better justification for Luthor's ultra-xenophobic attitude toward that alien scene-stealer Superman than he had in previous iterations of the DC universe...

Apparently whoever sent it was able to detect that the test flight crashed in the middle of a big city and successfully adjust the trajectory of Kal-El's rocket to avoid this. Meanwhile, the U.S. government assumed Earth was under attack by aliens who looked like goats (the one Jor-El or whoever sent seems to have been dead on arrival, so they couldn't tell from its behavior that it was just a lab animal) and formed an anti-alien military task force to combat this. The army task force in turn hired Luthor as a scientific advisor. Judging by some of Luthor's comments in Action Comics #2, when Clark showed up displaying powers far beyond those of normal men, Luthor assumed that he was actually one of the alien "goats," whom he concluded must be ( ... )

Thanks for the details and the link--I'll see what happens next time I hit the comic store.
