Anyway, somehow I finally manage to fish my latest blog out of the Bulk Mail swamp, polish it up and try to send it off. But that's not going to happen either. Why? Because my internet service provider now sends me something called a "String Character Verification" message, which basically says, "I'm sorry but we data-mined your out-going e-mail and we think that your blog article is SPAM. Please verify the following characters: J8xA4."
Okay. I can do that. I carefully type in "J8xA4".
"I'm sorry," says the next message. "You are an idiot. You cannot even type five characters correctly. Your message has not been sent and it has not been saved." This happens almost every time I send out a tuna-fish blog.
If I send Aunt Suzie a message that reads, "How's your new puppy," I never have this problem.
Sending out a blog article is like herding a school of tuna through a swamp. I spend over half my blogging time just sleepwalking and herding tuna.
I bet that Karl Rove is very pleased that he can waste so much of my time -- but I think that he'd be even more pleased if I gave up blogging altogether and just watched Fox News.
