This may be the first spam post I've found. Then again, it might not be spam

Just an FYI

Is anything going to be done about it?

I know it wasn't noticed up to now but I would think someone would do something about the spammer and lock him out of the site. I've already notified Peter Lanoie about this via AOL Instant Messenger

That's unneccesary. Posting it here will alert the proper authorities who will clean up the spam and ban the user. I do not have moderator rights in the forums the posts were made in, so I can't do anything about it.
