Again: what useful can bot submit to my blog as comment? Why should not
I use captcha to prevent such submissions?

When he posts to my blog, he does not receive, he sends. And I ensure
that people, who read my blog will not get any junk. Is this bad?

So, inviting to a coffee is the same as inviting me to enlarge my penis?
Btw. my wife gets such proposals all the time :D

And how many of them do so? Unless they do it, people will find other
ways to block such things.

Nope :) I clicked "unsubscribe" each time when they ~propose~ me to
unsubscribe in their mails.

without effect, I simply created a filter, which kills all messages from
them. Let them send directly to my dust bin :)
