Nearly every c...Comment spam can get really nasty.<br /><br />Nearly every comment thread at Ace of Spades ends in a flurry of spam.<br /><br />And Eric S. Raymond's blog Armed and Dangerous was "spam-raped" a few weeks ago. The spammer cracked his server security and replaced all the comments in old threads with spam.
