Comment spam?

We're all familiar with spam in our letterboxes, spam in our inboxes, spam in a can, spam coming out of our ears......

Now lo and behold: Comment spam.

I received a new comment on the previous post, and it turned to be, not from a teacher, a student or anyone even remotely connected to local education.

It was from a US timber company of all things.

"='Brand New News Fr0m The Timber Industry!!'
