Idly deleting the blogspam in Akismet I see that this blog appears to have got spam from… itself.<\/p>\n

\nYour investigation have been helpfull for me. I wish everybody writes article as this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Plus removes any native-speaking familiarity with the English langauge.<\/p>\n

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)<\/p>\n

Turkey
\nCity: Istanbul
\nLatitude: 41.0186 Longitude: 28.9647
\nHost: barbaros.turkbilnet.com
\nIP: 85.153.7.194<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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?<\/p>\n

Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do about this?<\/p>\n
