We have discussed this controversy lately, partly because I’ve advocated the use of Comment Hut in past posts. It made one guy pretty mad, and it made me laugh actually because it’s nothing to blow one’s stack over.

So I thought I’d share an example of actual spam. Here is the latest comment I received:

Hi,
This is a good post. It gives me the information I was in search of.

I have a small query – I don’t have any spam pages or websites. Still I am encountered with messages like “possible spam”, “Spam”, and so.

Do you have any idea why it’s such?

Thanks.

I thought it was interesting that Tom Paine wrote a comment, only to be followed no more than five minutes later with this comment from this guy….

I thought, “Weird. These dudes must know each other or maybe they read the same comic books or something, because they talk the same.” So THEN I got another comment less than an hour after THAT one….

Hi,
This is a good post. This is the stuff I was actually looking for.

I have a question though – Frequent number of times I have got a warning as “spam” when I try bookmarking on sites like dig.com or muti.com.

I don’t have any spam pages or websites.

Any idea why do I meet with all these?

Thanks.

So I was perplexed and bamboozled to be quite frank until it dawned on me that THIS is what spam really looks like. Not some person asking a question about a post or making an insightful point. Yeah. So next time someone tells you using Comment Hut or posting comments so you can get some awareness about your blog is EVIL or blackhat or whatever, as long as your comments are valid and not junk like these comments above, don’t sweat it.

Stumble it!
