I've just discovered you and reading this has hooked me.
I loved your comment 'STOP', but I doubt anyone from those bots will listen.
I make a point of totally ignoring all of them, so I rarely find them under my posts. I only respond to interesting and real comments (apart from those by close friends, when even a 'I read it' satisfies me).
I've got the next episode, so ta-ta, off to read some more...
