The following is from a new study on the prevalance of pings (called “spings”) from spam blogs (called “splogs”):

Clearly almost 3 out of 4 pings are spings! Going back further to the source of these spings, we observed that more than 50% of claimed blogs pinging weblogs.com are splogs.

And continuing, from the unedited draft:

And if most pings are spings, and most blogs are splogs, would you, could you, blog in a bog with a frog? I would not, could, blog in a bog, not with a frog, not with a splog. I would not, could not, blogger I am.
