Dear visitors: You may have noticed a number of objectionable comments in the blog section of this website. For those of you that may not be familiar with what is going on, this is called SPAMMING. Sierra connection has absolutely nothing to do with these mostly obsene postings. It is the risk that comes with affording you a free comment zone at the blog which does not require you to register as is with the discussion forum. Rest assured that we are dealing with the problem.
The following is more info on what Spam is all about.
"Spam in blogs (also called simply blog spam or comment spam) is a form of spamdexing. It is done by automatically posting random comments, promoting commercial services, to blogs, wikis, guestbooks, or other publicly-accessible online discussion boards. Any web application that accepts and displays hyperlinks submitted by visitors may be a target.
It has been suggested that the section Blog, wiki, guestbook, and referrer spam from the article Spam (electronic) be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)
Adding links that point to the spammer's web site increases the page rankings for the site in the search engine Google. An increased page rank means the spammer's commercial site would be listed ahead of other sites for certain Google searches, increasing the number of potential visitors and paying customers."
