Spam response

Due to a serious site-wide spam attack on livejournal I've had to disable comments from everyone except lj friends.

I'm starting to feel left out... Or did I already disable posts by anonymous? I forget.

These were from non-friend lj users. I had to block comments from all but friends.

I'm still getting whomped by comments from a spammer claiming they have a crush on me. How do they create so many fake accounts so quickly? Is it some kind of software?
