Apparently, Bartmann has been on CNBC’s “Big Idea”. Homeless to billionaire to bankruptcy it said on the YouTube video. I suppose his appearance on the programme says a lot about CNBC, too.

Do you really think, Billy, spamming my blog is such a profitable idea and did you honestly think that I would fall for it? I’ll let you into a secret. I almost did for about five seconds but then you kept going. You are a big boy now, Billy, did nobody ever tell you to stop at the right time?

Other spammers try only once and then move on but Billy keeps going. His persistence makes me laugh. It is almost admirable.

When Bartmann realised from his first few, very short comments along the lines of “Great site, love the info” and “Hey good stuff…keep up the good work!” that I did not publish his comments, he went onto more elaborate messages. The last one read:

Great site…keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
A definite great read…

Ah, thanks, Bartmann. If you were sincere, I would almost appreciate it.

Billy boy, I am pretty sure that you will find this post. How long will it take you? A day? Two days?

Here is a proposal for you: Comment on this post if you dare but you have to say something intelligent and honest. If I like what you say, I promise I’ll post it on this blog (sans the link, obviously).

If you do not like the idea, take a hint and shimmy off.
