Hello, Mr. Spam-Detection-Bot. Please don't shoot-- I'm human. Check out the Buddhist-inspired translation of a Catullus poem (June 11), Mr. Bot. You machines aren't up to something like that yet, are you?

Recently, a machine determined that my human-generated writing resembles machine-generated writing and locked me out of my blog for a while as part of some sort of War on Spam. I had no idea that I'd spent a couple of weeks in the mountains manually generating spam by shuffling around colored peices of paper (September 25).

I'm not sure if I hope it doesn't happen again because it's so funny.
