I agree and don't "Do Followers Button," any more. <br /><br />I know I have "Followed" blogs, to be nice, and then did not continue to follow some. And so, I just don't have that Button on my sidebar any more. Nor do I click that Button, on other's blogs, any more. To me, it means nothing. <br /><br />I have the comments, which I get. And have Site Meter, to see how many people actually Visit daily. If I want to check it, that is. <br /><br />If I get "down" sometimes, at the few number of Comments I get... I can go check Site Meter, and be *reassured.* ,-) That even though few Comment, many more do Visit.<br /><br />I do not understand them... the Lurkers. Most of the time, at least. I admit I do Lurk on some blogs, but for what I feel, are my own valid reasons. I suppose this will make me re-think theses so-called-valid-reasons for it, which I have. And if they are invalid, I will rectify the situation. <br /><br />Thank you for joining in this discussion!Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-39027366430921072252010-07-11T09:11:11.994-04:002010-07-11T09:11:11.994-04:00sounds like a good idea Donna...Most sites are usi...sounds like a good idea Donna...Most sites are using it now..so you aren't alone.

Have you Net-done anything recently, which coincided with the beginning of this spam-ing? Seems something triggered it. But what??????<br /><br />Also, I have read that Word Ver. does NOT stop a lot of these. Don't remember the 'why' of this but... Some lady who was being thus spammed, said so. -sigh-<br /><br />It's so not fair! We are just nice people, having some blogging joy. It's not fair, that these creeps can invade, like this!!!!!!

There's nothing I despise much more than a spammer so I understand that you must take steps to stop it. Actually, I've been having trouble everywhere trying to comment these days. I think I've commented, but it flies off and is never seen again.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-41882531798225602432010-07-10T11:15:23.364-04:002010-07-10T11:15:23.364-04:00Oh goodness - well, I hate that you've been ge...Oh goodness - well, I hate that you've been getting spammers! But, I don't mind at all word verification.<br /><br />Now, if I say THIS - I'll probably get them too, but I've never had even one! Don't know what the difference is. Have a wonderful day, Donna.
