Not all of them pointed to a web address, but any automated response is spam in my book… or should that be sandwich :)

Trouble is: spammers have more greed than common courtesy!

If it keeps going on I’m not going to unfollow them just yet. Instead I’m going use the twitter API to randomly DM them with tinyurl links back to this post interspersed with some awesome RickRoll action.

Revenge is fun
