 * now here’s an interesting one…
    I posted in my ‘main’ blog, and included a link
   to my other blog. Not a link to any specific post mind – just to /wordpress/ 
   I now have a pingback on the very first entry. Not really a problem, as I can
   easily delete it, but I’d hate to ‘pingback spam’ someone else in this way. I’ve
   linked my other blog before, but it’s never sent a pingback before. Only thing
   I’ve changed since last time is upgrading to 1.2.1 (from 1.2) I’m sure I’ve read
   about this problem before on here a while ago, but I searched and couldn’t find
   anything 🙁 Can this be fixed?

 * I wouldn’t worry about this.
    I posted here a while ago as I get exactly the 
   same effects (my first post now has 20+ comments/pings) and also wondered about
   trackback spam. Heard nothing of note, but then it could be being worked on. 
   Or it could not.
