I may be winning the war against comment spam, but I’m losing the war against vandalism. During the past 24 hours, I’ve deleted more than one hundred comments along the lines of:

• Please check some relevant pages in the field of… Thanks!!!
• Please check the sites in the field of- Tons of interesdting stuff!!!
• In your free time, check out the pages about…
