A few jackasses are selling software (and presumably, site lists) to do the spamming. Merely taking down your referring site stuff won't stop the hits.

You got my hopes up, and I was "dreaming" of the video airport at night... Then the video ipod came out and shot them down. DAMN YOU, MAN! Oh ya... interesting entry, Nate. The fact that people would spam in that manner just makes me... laugh... a lot. lol. Josh,
