Andy Beard - Spammer!
Blurb by ShaunzoLOL - I checked my Akismet Spam killer today to see if I have managed to attract any scum spammer yet. The blog was only launched at the weekend, so I expected a few.
Tsk Tsk! Fortunately I know better….. and the comment was ticked “not spam”…

Lisa, your comment made me smile.
(66,000+ spam and counting ROFL.)
Re: Andy the spammer! Shame on your Andy, what were you thinking? You know I’m kidding right.
For the most part, Akismet has been pretty good to me with only a few false positives. The only time one of my own comments was trapped as spam was when I put in a link to Movable Type in someone’s post. Hmmm.
