Yeah, that's just it, it SEEMS legit. What they're doing is pulling
feeds for several hundred blogs, sending trackbacks to every new post
on the blogs, and posting a link to those blog entries for about an
hour, just long enough for a blogger (or Spam Karma 2) to find the
link, then they drop the link. Which is why I blocked them in the first
place. It's pretty clear, and slightly more sophisticated, trackback
spam.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/25/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Matt Mullenweg</b> <<a href="mailto:m@mullenweg.com">m@mullenweg.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

I keep marking these posts as spam, and they keep failing to be
