Last night I received the following email through my blog, referring to the Flash version of Duck Hunt that I built a few years back:

You know, it’s sort of annoying when people get arrogant and try to put in some terrible protection.

Free iPods on my blog
by Josh on Mar.31, 2005, under Random
I would like an iPod. Very much. A free one would would be great. However, while I have a link to FreeiPodShuffle.com on my site, it is a referall link for me.
I like the comments people post on my site, and I like to receive feedback on the stuff I post. However, I have a low tolerance for comment spam, and only posting a link to a free iPod on my site, and nothing more as a comment is considered spam in my mind. So, depending on the day, and whatever mood I’m in, I’ll approve your free iPod link comment, or just delete it. However, if I approve it, I’ll be changing the referral link to work for me.
I appreciate those folks that have signed up for a free iPod under me, and I only need one or two of you to complete your offers now for me to get my iPod. (Remember, you need to complete an offer to get your iPod as well.) So, if you signed up, and completed your offer, I’ll be happy to post YOUR referral links to help you out.
