Nice work, Shane!!!

Great strategy for dealing with Spam. Does marking a comment as spam hide it
until approved or nuked?

PS - Do we have this up anywhere as a Seam 2 example? I have to imagine we
do... but this is something people might actually be interested in / could
even be spawned off as an opensource project of its own (hopefully getting
some help to upgrade to Seam 3 and CDI)
