Kalsey's Comment Spam Manifesto

Curiously enough, right after I installed MT-Blacklist and posted an entry regarding comment spam, I came across the Comment Spam Manifesto from Adam Kalsey's blog. Spammers beware; you are on our turf now. Here's an excerpt: Adam Kalsey:
Usenet news succumbed to spam long ago. Email was next. Now spammers have turned their attention to weblogs and comment forms. In order to increase search engine rankings you are posting advertisements to our Web pages. What you failed to understand is that bloggers are smarter, better connected, and more technologically savvy than the average email user. We control the medium that you are now attempting to exploit. You’ve picked a fight with us and it’s a fight you cannot win.
