Uih. That is no fun anymore. Some of the texts sounded like valid answers 
to the bugs. One even caused "plaicy" to give a comment. I removed the 
entries and added the URL to list of BadContents, but I fear the current 
SPAM methods will fail against such attacks. Neither the list of 
BadContents nor the Bayes filters will be able to handle this.

I think we see the first beginnings of a new SPAM area.
