I was ruminating over what to do with the dirt I’d gathered on our least-favorite comment spammer, “Jonny,” when our research editor Sandy sent over an email with an intriguing observation — Jonny hasn’t left any of his trademark messages for us since we exposed his link to Layered Technologies last week. Not a single one. Got you running scared, now didn’t we, Jonny?

Nonetheless, I think it’s a bit premature to celebrate — I am fully expecting him to come back, perhaps even to leave spam on this post. In which case, I shall have to marshal the mental_floss anti-spam army, so don’t throw out your machine guns and Rambo scarves just yet.
