Gee, I wonder…
You'd think most blogs have a "post has more than n links => I think this is spam!" -filtering now and the morons wouldn't bother, but I was wrong..

Hmm.. My dear reader has a lot of interesting links to offer me..!

I use Akismet to block spam in Wordpress. Up till now it has blocked all (~500) spam comments.

Tigert, install Spam Karma 2! I’ve been using it for a year+ and it’s caught over 66,000 pieces of blog spam. False-positives are extremely rare.

Tuomas, I’ve been using Spam Karma 2 for a little less than a year, and it’s caught over 67,000 pieces of spam as of this comment. Pretty amazing considering the fairly low amount of traffic I see.
You should really give a try. Very, very few false-positives. I’ve witnessed one and that’s it. It’s very customizable too on how aggressively it attacks comment spam.

Is there a more convenient way to email you other than through all this confusion?
