if you have not been to the pompous girls site.… waste not any time.
It is a haven of java pop ups and spy ware infiltrations, trying deperately to seduce its way into my hard drive and registry keys.
Unlike the the sites mistress though, the gain network, and microsoft better browser methods will give up, and just vanish in a poof of disappointment.

LOL Yeah, I've been there. Insidious. Another thing is her vanity. In any given view of the site there are 12-20 photos of her in your face. If you go to her photo gallery it's entirely photos of her--usually her face, but a shot of her chest now and then breaks up the monotony (not). She doesn't show pictures of friends (does she have any?) or photos she's taken of people, places, things, etc. In fact, the hundreds of photos of herself lead one to believe she only photographs herself. As I said to her in the e-mail informing her that she's been banned from the Saturday Slant and this site, she seems to have a pathological obsession with the front side of a camera. It's as if she's trying to accumulate as many photos of her as are often taken by others of a given celebrity in an effort to make herself appear to be a celebrity. Certainly all of her other efforts to gain celebrity by simpling convincing people that she already is supports her self-portrait obsession. While investigating her spam attacks on my blog and others I ran across comments in various places written by people who had seen, and followed the links within, some of her spam postings. The average reaction to Jamie Leigh's site can be summed up in one of the quotes I found: "Ow! That site makes my eyes hurt." She describes herself as "the Madonna of the Internet" and "a web icon." For what? Certainly not for design skill. She has profound and acute delusions of granduer. Unfortunately for her she's not smart enough to attempt reinforcing her delusions with even basic action or evidence. With a mind like hers, Jamie Leigh would make an effective celebrity stalker.

My three paragraph response died due to a fluttering connection issue (another program was taking too much bandwidth). I don’t feel like retyping it.

I’ve been watching the activity on my blog. Since upgrading the security (see above), the site has blocked a number of spam attempts. Wahoo!

good for you lad. it is nice to see that someone is pulling an Alamo against the onslaught of the spam nation.
As much as I would like to add to my previous statement about the dissolussional lass, I will forego it. After all, bad press, is still press.

Mt-blacklist is such a wonderful tool. Anything that makes my life a bit easier gets my vote. It amazes me the amount of spam that invades my blogs. Three instalations of MT over 400 spam comments.

Gina: 400? Christ! Obviously there are too many poeple who believe in profit at anyone’s expense.

All but one of the above are the "amazing page" jerk. The exception is one of those enlargement spams. (I can't use the actual terms or my comment will be blocked.)
