		<description>Blake,

Nice blog!  I personally don&#039;t know much about this, but you check out the new flux capacitor emporium online at www.fluxcapcitor.com.  Speaking from personal experience, it makes time travel a breeze.</description>

		<description>I say leave them.  Sometimes I read the comments and get some nice info on a product that I wouldn&#039;t have received if the comment wasn&#039;t there.  It doesn&#039;t really harm the effectiveness of your post, but may actually enhance it.  

Plus, it&#039;s not you that is trying to sell the product.  Just because you leave the comment doesn&#039;t mean you endorse what they are selling.</description>

		<description>I generally say leave them, but I like to see myself as forgiving. Comment moderation should be as hands off as possible. I tend to simply ask, &quot;Does this comment hurt anything?&quot;</description>

		<description>I would just say that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infendo.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Infendo&lt;/a&gt; is awesome and we rarely have to deal with this much at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infendo.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Infendo&lt;/a&gt;.  Also, something like this occurring at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infendo.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Infendo&lt;/a&gt; would probably just stir up some intelligent passion for all things Nintendo.</description>

		<description>Definitely the Nike post needs to be deleted as it doesn&#039;t directly respond to the post. I would say the same with the water bottle example as I doesn&#039;t even sound like it was posted by a human.</description>
