How did this spam get here?

Ummm ... it's not? I wrote it myself.

It reads like the kind of spam that will link me to a program that wants 8 easy payments of $12.99 for a few pamphlets by mail and a patented pheremone spray, guaranteed to help pick up women.

I can see that. I have no affiliation with the guy at all. I just read his book and it improved my dating life. His online book is free anyway, that's what I read first before I bought the paperback.

I read it twice to see if I missed something, but it still reads like a typical spam message about shady dating advice websites. You even had to apologize for the website looking suspicious.

Did you actually read the content of my post?

Look at my comment history and let me know if you still think I'm a spam bot.

If I said I read it twice, then yes, I did read it. Twice. Sibling post mentioned "It reads like the kind of spam" to which you agreed "I can see that."

I didn't say you were a bot. I asked how the spam got here, because I also checked your comment history beforehand.

If you checked my comment history and decided I wasn't a spam bot, perhaps you should've been more generous in your interpretation of my post.
