Rich, you apparently fail to appreciate the fact that you are now the Andy Warhol of the blogverse.
== interdsting == stylish == you command get got an nervousness == unique == What is that guy? ==
So cutting-edge, people don’t even know how to react.

Interesting, Rich, and here’s your answer on who’s behind Akismet and why: “The founder of Automattic, Matt Mullenweg, created Akismet so that his mother could blog in safety. He was the sole developer until recently. The name was suggested by Matt’s sister Charleen.” It’s licensed as free software under the GNU General Public License.

The original version of this post, written last night, continued that thought with: “We’re kinda like Doug Finke meets Louis Vuitton.” I thought that was hilarious last night. Laughed myself silly. Less so this morning. So it was cut.
