I have nothing to add to that.

I disagree (but for a different reason). Please read

Panayotis: yes, it makes sense for some very specific usecases like yours. But it's useless against comment spam and stigmatizes a whole bunch of (legitimate commenting) people as potential spammers. At least, if you just add the nofollow attribute in general to your comments..

I'm not completle agree with nonofollow.net. I think it's not that way simple and nofollow is a usfull thing to fight spam (but only everybody use it).

Of course its only a dirty hack to fix a imperfect search engine. But at that moment theres only one searchengine, so you have to life with google and nofollow.
