I would have approved it haha! It's rare that comment spam is clever, it's usually just a bunch of crappy keywords smashed together which becomes an eyesore. SPAM will never go away, my thoughts on the topic are that if it's clever, like the comment in question definitely is... just let it go. I mean, we should at least encourage those who do spam to at least put in the effort to be creative. Nice post. LOL! I would have approved it haha!

What if it is done by a human instead of a robot?

So far, using it on my Website, it has caught an average of 30 comment spams in a day. No more spam slips through! The bundled Akismet does not seem to block off all spam. Jeff C is very right.

I have two XP machines and I recently purchased a whiz bang laptop from Dell with Vista installed. I had a driver problem that was really nice. The pointer driver was in conflict with a Windows driver ( Vista did not bother to tell me which one ) but the Microsoft search said there was no solution. The Dell robot in India spent 3 hours and decided it could not be fixed. I had a few other driver problems too but I did not get far enough to really install the software that I use everyday. So it is back to XP and things that work. I am one of the people that have switched from Vista back to XP.
