We have seen that with spam on our wiki a few times. Unless you are very familiar with the copied text you would never catch it. Any idea if that was a manual spam job or automated? I would almost bet on manual since if they are just randomly copying comments they could end up copying someone else's spam. Yep. We have seen that with spam on our wiki a few times.

Could be because I also remember <a href="http://spamhuntress.com/2005/07/29/roy-giles-takes-up-guestbook-spamming/#comment-1087" rel="nofollow">writing it</a>.
