  Not spam at all, in fact that came from you. :)

  You just linked to one of your own posts or pages in http://thecharlestonporch.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/porch-love/ thus generating the pingback.

  I was intrigued by this too – is there any point in “approving” the comment rather than just deleting it from the comments list?

  I like to approve self-pingbacks as it provides an easy way to reference related posts.

  For example, a long time ago I posted reviews on my favorite freeware apps, then posted whenever they were updated and linked back to the review in each update post. The result was a list of pingbacks to each update announcement below the initial review post.
