Yup, it is the latest in spam.  If you visit a lot of sites with  
"leave comments on this story" type features, you've probably noticed  
these before.  Darin got hit recently on S-cars because it uses a  
software package that is fairly popular; apparently the software has  
a vulnerability that was letting the spammers post comments even  
though he had turned comments off completely.

I'll bring it to Mark's attention.
