For some reason, my most recent entry on this journal fell victim to a spam replies from a Japanese spammer.
I woke up to find 100 notes in my inbox, all replies to my post about Epicurus... All anonymous, all in Japanese (except for a smattering of English loan words), all from the same IP address.
Deleted those, marked as spam. Came back a little while later, found three more. Deleted those, marked as spam. Came back a little while later, found nine more.
Decided to change my privacy settings.
*sigh*
Weird.

'course, all of that is could be Google Translate's weirdness, too.
And I wonder why that one post got all the replies, and none of the others... quantum physics? Greek philosophy? Maybe the word "epicurean"
