It looks like someone is trying out some type of comment spamon AOL Journals. Or was; it sounds like a straightforward Termsof Service violation and I'd expect it to get yanked quickly.
Fortunately, Journals provides a way to both delete a comment and blockthe commenter's user id (screen name) from future comments to thatJournal, which is handy in these situations. But perhaps itdoesn't go far enough. Perhaps there should be anauto-blacklisting feature: If enough different peoplecomment-block a user id, perhaps it should be blocked from any furthercomments anywhere for a significant period of time. It would atleast slow down the spammers.
