Comment spam on other people's sites

I was the first one to notice a new piece of comment spam in one of Teresa's posts at Making Light a few minutes ago. It was a distinctly odd moment for me. My ingrained reaction after five years of taking care of the Vine was to try and run my program that removes the ad. But of course that isn't going to work so I could only point it out and feel curiously proud of doing my bit to keep the site pristine.

Cullen had a complaint about Making Light because he was trying to do some research into the properties of light and Teresa's site is number two, after a commercial site. It's interesting to see the results. Industrial Light and Magic is number nine.
