Argh! I've been seeing more comment-spam lately, and on waking after too little sleep and seeing LJ comment notification email that read just like the beginning of a sales pitch and didn't seem to make much sense otherwise, I quickly -- too quickly for being not quite awake -- deleted it and checked the "report as spam" button.

Which would have made perfect sense except that five minutes later it finally occurred to me that a) the user who posted the comment was on my friendslist, not a random throwaway account, and b) there was no link to a web page or mention of a specific product -- it sounded like the beginning of spam, but didn't follow through.

Noticing (a) and (b) tickled my "something's wrong with this picture" sense, which woke me up a bit more so that I was able to notice c) that read by an awake person and folllowing the context ... uh, damn, it wasn't spam at all, and actually fit the discussion.

Oh crap. Gotta figure out how to contact the LJ admins to say "oops", and apologize to the person who's comment I deleted.
