#2 [Dickweed's spam deleted]

#3 I'm working on a filter that will do away with our daily vowel movements. I'm going to display probability of spam in comments for a little while to make sure I've got it calibrated right.

#4 That seems to have been easy enough. I've taken the report on spam probability off the comments. Vowel movements should now self-destruct without bothering us, barring typos.

#7 Care to share your code with us? I always find Charles' programming tutorials on LGF very enlightening... it would be great to get some tips from you too.

#8 It's just baby code. I look at the number of non-ASCII characters:

function spamalize($x)
{
$len=strlen($x);
for($i=0;$i < strlen($x)-1;$i++){
$c=ord($x[$i]);
if($c > 128)
$spamlength++;
}
$c=ord($x[$i]);
if($c > 128)
$spamlength++;
$spampercent=$spamlength/$len;
return($spampercent);
}

The actual percentage I use for the cutoff should remain a secret.

#12 Anita, I wish you hadn't taken it so hard but I had to tell you that was not a dog.

#13 Clark Gable assures me this time it's a real dog.

#14 So, Anita Page is the one that instigated the "pig as pet" scenario. Can't blame her. My pig, Emily, was an extremely affectionate pet, and a wonderful friend. Also, at 700 pounds and seven feet long, a tremendous deterrent to those that might have dreamed of entering our property without permission. A dog has to bite to get your attention. A 700 pound pig just hits you once, and you know you're not where you should be.

Thanks, Anita!

#15 A friend has a small herd of mule footed pigs, and keeps them loose around the yard. Some of these get quite large, though 700 pounds might be pushing it. Smart beggars, and not below intimidating the unwary. Great watch ~~dogs~~ pigs.

#20 Not to pick nits, but I see a stray line break in there....

#21 It won't be there for the next one...

#22 You might find simpler to avoid the loop, Fred. Do something like

$nonAlphaNumeric = preg_replace("/[A-Za-z0-9 ]/", "", $x);
$nBadChars = strlen($nonAlphaNumeric);
$nChars = strlen($x);

Compare $nBadChars to $nChars however you wish. The regex in preg_replace just replaces all the ASCII letters and numbers of $x with nothing, thus deleting them, and storing the result in $nonAlphaNumeric.
