[spam-stopper] another lyceum ?

[Andrew Ferguson]

The API key is used for almost all requests made to the Akismet server 
except for the API Key Validity check. Since you won't be checking any 
keys if you key is hard coded, your can ignore that scenario.

In short, you hard code the API key by changing the host because the API 
key is sent as a sub-domain of the host (fourth level domain name, 
actually). So, all requests should be sent to the host
aoeu1aoue.rest.akismet.com, where "aoeu1aoue" is your API key.

Hopefully that makes sense.
