I trust that you'll be equally thrilled that I've reported you as a spammer....

Probably a spammer. Note that there was no actual spam in his post.

True but as I said in my report, there is a spam link in the About Me in the profile. If you Google the e-mail address it also throws up some interesting results. I've also been looking into the reasons behind content spamming recently. Whereas I'd previously thought it was just the preserve of benign idiots, it's apparently related to search engine optimisation.

For some reason the spam report hasn't made it to me. Something to look at. Another thing to look at is why the spammers sig didn't show up. If it did I'd have known it was sig link spam in the first place and never approved the post.

Oh well... time for some clean up.
