At least with them, you have the option of not clicking on the link, and of deleting the message. But as far as I'm concerned, as bad as that is and can be, it pales in significance in comparison to certain advertisements by allegedly legitimate advertisers that appear on site, and seem designed to force you to look at them, and make it difficult for your computer to move away to another page, or off the site all together. AT&T lately has been running an ad on a variety of sites that seem designed to hold your computer hostage until you have memorized their drivel. Evidently they haven't caught on that such an advertising strategy might just piss people off. As annoying as all that is, comment spam is only the second worse kind of internet advertising.
