It seems Jeff Atwood from Coding Horror has found a new way to identify spam:
comments by women are so rare on my blog that when I see a female name in the comments it is 95% likely to be spam. Sad but true.
Hey. Fun but sad but true, I'd say :)

I saw your post on Tech Crunch about odiogo.com.
Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up!
Hmm, I think this is a sign that women are farther behind in the tech revolution than I thought. My comments aren't real and when I'm gaming, in all likelihood people think I'm a guy with a female avatar. *sigh*
I can't laughing …

Interesting angle from which to attack spammers. Maybe I should include it in my own plugin: SpamTask: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spamtask/
