Japanese spammer theory

[cdave]

The random-words / chat-log-paste / no-links-included spammer back, and it's on good old 125.14.157.123

Since this can defeat re-captchas, and seems to come in bursts of the odd message a few hours, then nothing, I really think this is a person.

I'd like to go through the f-list of everyone whose been affected and see if the people on their f-list have been making comments / posts that correlate to these times. But that sounds like a bit of a mammoth task, and I don't have time to undertake it at the moment.

As I'm "friends only" on my postings, I don't get any of these random flypast spammers

I used to listen to a lot of Japanese Spammer Theory, but frankly their last few albums have gone really downhill.

Hello, I don't know you (though we seem to have some mutual friends) but I was googling for 125.14.157.123 just now and came across this post. I get these pointless comments too (screened these days so no-one else sees them, but they're still irritating) and I'm trying to work out what to do about it...
