			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just noticed that a spam comment made it through on <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/07/defensio-sorts-blocked-comments-by-spaminess/#comments" target="_blank">the article about Defensio&#8217;s launch on TechCrunch</a>.  How ironic is that? <a href="http://techcrunch.com" target="_blank">TechCrunch</a> doesn&#8217;t use <a href="http://defensio.com" target="_blank">Defensio</a>; they use a competing product instead.</p>
<p>Here are the obligatory screenshots:</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.carlmercier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/tc-spam2.png" title="tc-spam2.png"><img src="http://blog.carlmercier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/tc-spam2.png" alt="tc-spam2.png" /></a></p>
<p>Clicking on the author name takes you to this blatantly spam page:</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.carlmercier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/tc-spam1.png" title="tc-spam1.png"><img src="http://blog.carlmercier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/tc-spam1.png" alt="tc-spam1.png" /></a></p>
<p>Bottom line is: use <a href="http://defensio.com" target="_blank">Defensio</a>!  <img src='http://blog.carlmercier.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But seriously, shit happens&#8230; can&#8217;t blame TechCrunch for letting this one through.</p>
