A recent comment added to my post, The Hotline:

Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.

Sounds legit. Except for the fact that the trackback URL from the comment leads to a commercial website hawking name badges.

Businesses that spam are the dregs of the earth, and don’t deserve your patronage.
