I think it just means I need more readers more than anything. ;) I'm using WP-Spamfree, and so far it has apparently blocked 20 spam comments in about a day or so. However, there's no way to manually review what was blocked. I contacted them and am looking into it to see if you can, just to be sure no good comments are getting mistakenly blocked.

I'm not actually sure how well Akismet does all by itself as yet, since I've never relied solely on it. Right now it's caught all but 5 spammers all by itself, and the other 5 registered - it just kept them in a queue for me to approve or not. Chances are when I upgrade Wordpress it'll be taken care of within Wordperss/Akismet anyway. Yes, there are ways to avoid CAPTCHAs automatically or manually.
