Akismet

“Akismet has caught 40,011 spam for you since you first installed it.”

That’s just ridiculous. I only have 2,471 valid comments. That’s almost 20 to 1 spam.

    Check out Akismet site:
    http://akismet.com/

    651,163,048 spams caught so far
    477,045 so far today
    94% of all comments are spam

    Enough said. Should we change the name of ‘the internet’ to ‘the garbage dump’?

    Viagra online! Buy it now! Buy Valium! You know you want it!

    Just testing to see what Akismenet thinks this comment is. Plus it’s nice to get spam from your friends isn’t it? 😀

    My blog just got 722 spam comments in the last 15 days, and you know how little I blog. So my ration must be like 100 to 1.

    Yup, Akismet caught it. I had to go unspam it so you wouldn’t be blacklisted. 🙂
    But heck, you can spam me any time. I love you man!
