So far, Akismet has done a much better job of catching pingback spam, and with Bad Behavior filtering out the 3,000ish obvious spams each week, it's been much easier this time around to go through the spam queue and see if any false positives showed up.

I suppose they saw the TB as a way of getting past SK2's screening.

I only get friendly pingbacks from people who think I write “interesting articles”! You mean...they don't think I write interesting articles?

You mean…they don’t think I write interesting articles?

I think my wordpress blog was up for something like six hours before I got my first spam comment. This stuff is just crazy.

I also especially like self-pingbacks to link posts together. It's just the darn scraper sites that make it so hard to have pingbacks enabled. You can, but I like legit pingbacks.
