Asked by Eliah Kagan

The user kitkatny (https://launchpad.net/~kitkatny03) was a legitimate user of Launchpad, but this user's account was apparently hijacked. The comment posted from it on 7 October 2011 (post #23) in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+question/173164 is spam.

I've removed the offending comment and contacted the user to inform them of the hijacking. If their account continues to be used to send spam we will suspend the account.
