    It never ceases to amaze me the headaches people are willing to endure just so they can use MT-Blacklist.

    Assuming that the majority of comments are automated (they are), a Turing test “Captcha” is all you need to ensure that your blog is spam free. James Seng’s Scode is excellent and effective.
