However, I've seen them all be somewhat generic, and in that case I'll just kill them all. If the comments specifically addressed the topic of the post, then I’d have left them.

One left comments on 5 different posts and they were not automated [actually referenced my posts] yet the website drew a flag for me. I left them since the site wasn't porn or anything bad. I've had others where the sites linked were off so I de-linked them and left the comment. {sigh} Why can't people just play fair. .-= Anne´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/anneonlife/~3/BRRdvqlrXGk/">Frivolity Can Lead to Greater Thoughts, Just Not Today</a> =-.

Thing is, these guys live for the thrill of doing it the illegal way, because they could all be very successful going legit. I was actually reading about this one, Dennis.

I've come across some here and there that seem to match up to the content and look real. Then you see what post its on and say "no, that doesn't seem right", or worse, you see the same exact comment somewhere else, written the same exact way.

"I was studying something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your position on it is diametrically opposed to what I read before. I am still reflecting over the diverse points of view, but I’m leaning heavily toward yours. And no matter, that’s what is so superb about modern democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line." The real idiocy of this one is it was placed on the comment you see in the Commentluv link, LOL. IF it were actually placed on some thought provoking article somewhere, it just might make it past an unsuspecting admin. 2. "I have found it on this website called tip swift (linked). You can find it there. cheers edit: wrong thread" This one is a bit clever as well. Notice the "edit"...again if this were placed on a blog with a few hundred posts, it might make it passed someone.

Still, it's interesting seeing the psychology of spam sometimes, though I still abhor it. Absolutely correct, Peter.

Quite often the email addresses are bad, and then we've just wasted our time. I never, NEVER, click on any of the links in those messages, and I hope no one else goes that route first either.
