That's what a bot or Nigerian wage-slave wished me after posting some spam in a five-year old post. The bot also told me how my blog is "gentle on my eyes and the facts are indeed written." Indeed they are! I prefer writing facts in a blog, as opposed to belching them in! They stick better that way!

There's a thread on a forum I frequent titled "Civil War - it's not as bad as I was lead to believe".
