Confuzzled – and just a teensy, weensy bit annoyed

What’s with this “new” spam which just links to legitimate sites? I have just received four messages, linking to yahoo.com, microsoft.com, livejournal.com and bluesoft.co.uk.

Here’s an example:

Email Address: gabriel@internet.com
URL: http://www.yahoo.com/r/sq

Comments:

it was fun visiting here. wishing you a great day!

WTF? Not that I don’t appreciate the odd comment saying my site is fun, but with four different ones posted within seconds, it’s obviously spam. Is the goal to make me blacklist yahoo.com? Well, I ain’t falling for it. And I really, really, really don’t see the point. Give up already! Yes, you managed to annoy me, happy now?
