I find it interesting that people/bots who chose to spam blogs and websites invariably start their spam posts with “Sorry :-(…”.
The very fact that they post their spam is a negation of the apology they offer.
What possesses someone to think that if they apologize in advance their action is somehow OK?
I have never understood the idea of apologizing prior to committing an offense – it smacks of insincerity if it’s real human, and bad programming if it’s a bot – or perhaps it’s the other way around?
