A few of my regular readers kept asking me for a greytrapping retrospective. So when I saw that the number of imaginary friends (aka spamtraps) was approaching the number of people in my home country, I started looking at whatever data I had still around and my various field notes.
The result is a writeup titled Eighteen Years of Greytrapping - Is the Weirdness Finally Paying Off?
