I wonder at what point it's useful to tell the artists in question that their publicists are merely pissing people off.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-54145145108257010312008-10-14T16:00:00.000-07:002008-10-14T16:00:00.000-07:00I got the same comment verbatim, and so did Soho t...I got the same comment verbatim, and so did Soho the Dog.

Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>I spotted a spam comment a week or so ago at Wellsung like the one I removed. It was about a NYC pianist and the comment had nothing to do with the posting it was attached to, of course.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-9331251133290010932008-10-06T17:48:00.000-07:002008-10-06T17:48:00.000-07:00Amen, Lisa.

On the other hand, someone from the American Symphony Orchestra recently hit a whole string of blogs that regularly -- or even semi-frequently, in my case -- include content relating to opera, posting a straight-up press release for their then-upcoming performance of <I>Le Roi d'Ys.</I> (My Favorite Intermissions was another of the blogs that got hit.) Since there was no attempt at the kind of subterfuge you describe here, I left it alone. I can't imagine what good they thought it was going to do, but what the heck?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
