G-Mail
I have received several comments via my contact form, it’s at the upper right and is labeled “your input”.
At first I got the usual collection of spammers, now, most of them seem to have given up, at least for the next few minutes. But I’m getting comments from g-mail accounts, that apparently have links attached. When I click on these links I get a server cannot be found page, whether this is due to email filtering, my using firefox instead of IE or g-mail being misconfigured, I don’t know.
G-mail is still in the Beta stage and looks like it will be a while longer, so this could just be a bug.
I do on occasion receive spam at my normal email addys from g-mail accounts and those links always seem to work, so it could be that there’s something in my contact form that’s not sending the complete link.
Whatever the cause, this absolutely breaks my heart. I mean, after all, how’s a guy supposed to get through the day without following a random link to a site that generates pop-ups, pop-unders and demands money so you can see more of the same?
If anyone wants me to see a link they should just type the complete url without the href and if it looks interesting I’ll take a look.
