Chris,
Guess it's a good thing that I continue to delete 50 to 200 comment spam 
posts a day (really overnight) that I frequently encounter. Didn't say 
anything, because what gets through has been rather steady in my 
experience. But those numbers just push us that much closer to whatever 
the daily limit is.

BTW, anyone who encounters obvious spam, delete it, don't hide it. I 
noticed people have hidden them from time to time. I've found that 
leaving them in hidden form tends to attract repeated hits on the same 
original stories -- maybe. I don't know if nefarious spammer methods 
simply repost to the same group of stories or what, but it's just cruff. 
X 'em out.
Mike
