Is this a sign?

Have I hit the big time?
Should I look upon this as a sign? Maybe not.
But for the second time in a week I woke this morning to find spam comments here on my blog.
A little more annoying was that it wasn't just one comment. It was 18 comments. All from the same account, in Japanese. Sprinkled around my posts from the last 18 months Again it was a list of links to cheapo mass produced tat, I know this because I used a translation site to check.. It took a while to find them all and delete them.
I'd prefer not to use the comment moderation thingamajig, it makes me feel a bit big brotherish. But I don't like people fly posting links all over here either. So what to do?
Has this happened on your blog? Please share your thoughts :)

Argh! Spam is frustrating. It has happened in my blog but I rather just delete it. I haven't changed my comment settings... yet. And I really don't want to, but the other day I also woke up to +20 spam comments so it was really nasty and upseting...

Unfortunately Leigh it's a sign that you're being recognised! We have a spam filter on our blogs that moderates the first comment left by someone (using their email address) and subsequently lets all of their other comments through. It means that we can catch spammers quickly and our (new) friends' comments aren't missed.
