Has anyone else run into this?
I’ve gotten dozens of “trackbacks” from weblog.cemper.com. It’s almost like trackbacks spam. It’s not like his ideas are referencing my posts or are even related. It’s getting a bit tiresome. Trackback spam? Maybe… Just maybe…
Seems David is having the same problem.
Perhaps time to drop this blogger a friendly email?
UPDATE
Okay, this seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, the following blogs are also complaining: redemption in a blog, Heiko Hebig and Martin.
Cemper’s response?

Except that the entries aren’t related. Generally at all. Really.
Sorry “Mr. Cemper”, but I’ll be sending you an email asking to be taken off your “Trackback list”.

And You thought comment spam was bad….
Well, since spamming has moved its way into comments on webpages, why can’t it go to trackbacks? You know, the stuff that sites powered by Radio and Movable Type, among others, allow you to do when you want to let…
