Spammage

Just got my first ever comment spam. It was on the thread about promotional condoms, although I don't know whether this was a coincidence or not. The thread's over a year old, so it may have simply been a random post on a thread old enough not to be noticed if I didn't have email notification turned on.

It's only a few days since I was saying in a thread over at james_nicoll's that I'd never had a single comment spam...
