There are times of healing when one must center oneself so deeply within oneself so as to seem non-existent to the whole rest of humanity.

Let's give John et.al. at Xanga HQ some credit...

If you check the Xanga 'Join' page now, you'll notice it requires human verification in the form of a 'captcha'.  This will prevent programs like the holiday-spawned GNAA trollbot auto-signup from flooding Xanga with registrations of malicious intent.

By the way, ALL of the previous thousands of auto-accounts that GNAA created to comment-spam us had a non-varying password of '123456'.  heh.  And many, many of those are still 'active' with the default password...

for example:

afghanistan_needs_EXTRAMARITAL
american_belies_walker7162
ballocks_slashdot_iraqi7352
Chicago_gay_x_emo_x9522
gay_obsessed_mexican8428
horny_president_cool8667
lover_american_anal6542

Over there, a self-proclaimed GNAA operative was disgruntled because no one, including Xanga, was giving them much credit.  um...here was my response:

1. 
   

   I’m up set to see you did not give us at the GNAA any credit to our work…this is most displeasing…

   GNAA calls this “work"? heh. They are so vain. They live for vanity. If there were both an al Qaeda operative and a GNAA trash-holer hanging from branches off the edge of a cliff, it would be an amusing decision which branch to break first.

I would advise the idiots who associate with GNAA and such other worthless dung-mongering confederacies to get lives.  Except they wouldn't know what to do with them.
