Got a comment, one word worth. I immediate thought, "spam." But I looked at the supposed blogger, and there was a real site, not overtly commercial, although very slick. Asian-ish name form, claims to have written three books on Amnmazomn*, English awkward to fractured. On blooger since 2019, which is like a buggy-whip start-up company. I do a separate look up for the 'books.' Something about reducing belly fat, which reminds us of pop-up ads on every platform.
Yeah.
Spam.
So, I got to my comments and reported and deleted it.
Kind of hoping for an angry follow up comment claiming I'm wrong. Had another one similar, maybe a year ago? Not as elaborate, but pointless positive comments from someone without a blog of their own. Called them on it, reported it as spam, got an angry response saying "I'm not a bot, how dare you!" So I reported that comment as spam as well. A manned bot is still a bot.
Even if it's not spam, I can live without that reader. With the changes to oogle, beware of these parasites.
This external memory site of mine may well soon go extinct. Such is life. Sad, since I've found it very useful, but inevitable. I will miss you all if and when that happens. Maybe we should have alternate means of contact? Some of you I already do, but not all.
The world tears itself apart now and again. Loss is part of the process. We grieve and remake.

Thanks for the heads upon that one
gz,
You'd've looked hard at it as well, I'm sure. I'm not going to spell out the name, not that it matters. The approach is the giveaway. If it smells wrong, it probably is.
Catching up on the blogs I follow is a regular Saturday morning activity... I would be very sad if your lovely blog were to disappear. May that day be far away!
