Observations of strangeness....
The EMB forums always get their share of spam, but I've noticed that several pages at a time show up on the Intraweb forum there, and it happens every few days.
I only monitor a few other sections there, but the other ones I monitor seldom show more than a message or two of spam.
So, either those "clean" sections are cleaned up quite often (before I ever get there) or someone is targeting the Intraweb section. It's happened enough lately to raise my "what's going on here" flag.
Strange. Sometimes it's paranoia, sometimes they really are out to get you.
I haven't tried tracking the messages but I assume the spammers are smart enough to cover their tracks.
