Idly deleting the blogspam in Akismet I see that this blog appears to have got spam from… itself.

Your investigation have been helpfull for me. I wish everybody writes article as this.
WTF? Well, I suppose it’s always possible that I am suffering from a brain disease that makes me both send out spam at random and forget that I’ve sent it.
Plus removes any native-speaking familiarity with the English langauge.
Not to mention that it seems that I’ve been absent-mindedly visiting Turkey without realising it. Because this host is what that IP resolves to (assuming, for no good reason, that the originating IP isn’t spoofed)
Turkey
City: Istanbul
Latitude: 41.0186 Longitude: 28.9647
Host: barbaros.turkbilnet.com
IP: 85.153.7.194
This really pisses me off. If the spammers are so prolific that they’ve spammed the blog they were using as a pretend source, how many other blogs have got spams that seem to originate from here?
Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do about this?
