a measure of depth rather than breadth  

increased chances

It's been a battle, but I think the comment spam crap is finally over. I've deleted well over 3000 spam comments since it began, but I've been spam free for a couple days now. Bonus.

I have been getting some legit comment traffic though, so I figure I'll dedicate this post as a response to the regulars and the semianonymous Google Expressway motorists who took the time to post comments.

To Guido, who I doubt will ever show up here again: I own the Gone Jackals album, and that song's not by them, though their music makes up the bulk of the game's soundtrack.

After some research, I found that the song is actually called Increased Chances, and the band itself is called Chitlins, Whiskey, and Skirt.

To Travis, here's my semi-crappy mp3 of it- I made it a while back, using a tape deck, but it's better than nothing. I keep meaning to redo it but I don't own the game. You should probably fix the file name with the above artist info.

To Finn, . what?

To Carrie, the same way I meant it when I used it another place. Bumping something unpleasant off a list in an effort to hide from it. In both cases it was using an unimportant entry to bump an important but unpleasant one from the top of the list.

To Busa, come back from friggin' Sweden already.

Thank you one and all for your meeting of my attention-whore complex needs.

To be honest, I've never actually witnessed comment SPAM. It's a mythical creature to me. I've heard stories, but by the time I finally go to get a glimpse of the monstrosity, it has already been tamed by the webmaster. What sort of things to people put in comment SPAM anyway?
