Nice, isn't it? Well, not when you get a lot of those, from anonymous posters, and accompanied by strange, and sometimes outright spammy subjects (the subject for the above post, for example, was "adipex-online").
Now, compliment spam isn't new. But those usually come with a bunch of spam links attached, sometimes openly, sometimes thinly veiled as "please visit my site".
