Chances are good that the would be spammer is attempting to leave multiple comments like this at once on my site, however I have ReverseDOS configured to block attempts that aren't at least 60 seconds apart so who knows. Regardless, it's pretty crafty and so far at least a dozen have eluded all of my spam filters; to the casual eye they might slip by completely when site owners are scanning their comment logs, I almost missed the first one myself. F'ing spammers.
