Mine is just one fifth of yours (my main blog), at 202,076. Several case of false positive, or maybe it’s just that few of commentator bother to let me know that their comments did not pass through.

I wonder what created spammers:)

Btw, I don’t have Akismet. I am running drupal and installed Mollom instead. But it blocks approximately 131653 spammers in the past 227 days. Mostly are hitting my contact page. So I decided to change my contact page into a dynamic blog entry kind with a comment form provided by disqus as a replacement for my contact form. I know it’s a strange kind of contact form, but it does the trick. I never get a single spam since then. I don’t bother my comment form since disqus is already doing the filter pretty well.

At least it may confuse and hopefully stop bad robots for some time, before I revert to traditional contact form.
