So far – in a little over a year, Akismet has caught over 10 000 spam comments for me. 10 245 to be exact.
This morning, there was 114 in line. I had a quick look – all porn, diet pills and various medication. Why are meds such a big thing on the ‘net, I wonder? I don’t do meds if I can help it, but if I had to, I’d make sure it was prescribed by a doctor, and I wouldn’t risk buying bootleg stuff…
Anyway. I usually try to scan the spam, to see if any genuine comments get stuck in there by mistake (it happens from time to time), but today I deleted everything. 114 comments, each a mile long – no way.
So – I apologize if anyone’s genuine comment has been deleted. I doubt it though – spam seems to be very much in season.
Stumble it!

Well, I get spam in waves. I’ll get a ton and then not any for awhile. Sounds like I’m periodically getting the same junk you are. 10K is an awful lot. Yikes.
Have a great day and weekend.

Yeah, I’ve had to stop checking the spam for genuine comments too. Takes way too much time.
