A wonderful comment on comment spam

[womzilla]

Users of Movable Type, a common blogging software package, have been subject to a number of waves of comment spam--spam left in their web-based comment threads.

To prove that there's nothing so awful that it doesn't have something good come out of it, I give you this remark from tnh:

During the last wave, I got a look at a sort-of-weblog, some kind of corporate site, that had left its comment threads open but hadn't been cleaning out the spam. They had spam messages piled six or seven deep. It read like the late-night conversations of a window full of department store mannequins.
