Joseph Scott on comment and trackback spam:
On a related note, if you are creating a spec for some spiffy new protocol (like trackback), please have a group of people look at how this can be abused. At a minimum, imagine how you would exploit this if you were a spammer (or some other equally evil evildoer). I’d like see these issues addressed (and fixed) in specs for new protocols when they first come out, not after.
Also, his experiences as well as my friends' make me really glad I'm not running standard blog software.
