<font size=3>No, of course not. What I was trying to convey is that if
many spammers start using the joke trick and akismet is unable to catch
them and unless all comments with any links are sent to the moderation
queue, the spam joke comments will be valid comments until such time as
my application's users review their new comments and spot them.<br><br>
Personally, I've been spoiled...out of nearly 6,000 spam to date, I've
had only a few false negatives. The spam jokes will increase that. I hate
to see any spam on comments pages even if it is only for a few hours.
