Hi Suresh,

I've enabled JSPWiki's "SpamFilter"
(http://jspwiki.org/wiki/SpamFilter), and populated its blacklist with
some entries based on this spam. Hopefully it'll help reduce spam.
(Unfortunately, eliminating spam entirely is probably unrealistic unless
we severely restrict how people gain access to edit our wikis.)

Since we haven't used this before, we'll need to keep an eye on things
to see how well it works. Let me know if you see any issues.
