Me too, but the more people do it, the more SEs have to find a way 
around it.

People want money for their work. I get sad to when people just copying 
feeds to pages (or Usenet posts for that matter) make more money in a 
week with their site then I will in a year when I put adsense on mine. 
An entry on a walk takes me almost an entire Saturday, same for a 
tutorial on installing Apache.

That's already the case. People who write good stuff rarely have SEO 
skills.

There we go again. Can you prove that with another OS this was not 
happening? No.

Do you need Windows XP to comment spam? No
Do you need Windows XP to run a trojan? No
Do you need Windows XP to do a DDOS attack? No

Can unregistered users post? I do get some sign ups but they don't post 
:-)

Yeah, e-mail spam gets less and less nice, it's now mostly attached 
images and a bogus message to fck the learning filters.

And many companies are extremely slow when cleaning up spam. Google to 
name one (I'll blog on that later today).
