Now, I haven't investigated this or anything, but I noticed that my comments count jumped in the past few days. I went to check my email to see if I'd received any emial about the replies, and was surprised to see 17 emails from the same “person,” with the same subject.
Here's the evidence: 1, 2, 3*, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13...(there were a couple more, but I didn't pay attention to where they were before I caught on). And here's a sample email:

Now, I'm sure there are plenty of you out there that think this might be well-deserved based on some of my past comments, but personally, I hate to see this sort of thing going on. Spam is bad enough. Now, we have to worry about blog spam, too? This is ridiculous. I guess that's the price you pay for having a high Google-ation! But, it looks like I'm not the only one who's had this problem (1, 2, 3) - there were a bunch more, but you can take a look for yourselves.
