Spam
My comments section is being spammed. Usually I can use MT Blacklist to quickly stop new spam messages. However, this spam is different. Here is an example of a typical spam comment:
You are invited to visit some information in the field of... Thanks!!!There is no URL for readers to click upon, so other than causing annoyance, I do not understand the reason for this spam. However, I have deleted too many of these messages to count and they keep coming. So I have turned off the ability to place anonymous comments - you must now enter a name and email address to comment. Feel free to enter a fake email (e.g., no@nospam.com) as I don't care if you post a real email address or not. I'm just hoping to defeat some of this spam without eliminating my comments altogether.

You got me thinking about the reason of this seemingly stupid spamming, but the last sentence in your post sort of provoked and answer that might be correct or might be not. Could it be that the people who do such spamming are against free thinking? I mean, the free exchange of thoughts? It could be personal, could be general, aiming at certain individuals or groups (right, left, whatever) or just the net in general. I'm just knitting in the air here, but usually every human act has a reason behind, so...well this has a posibility -from my view point- of being that reason. God bless :)
