That's the wrong solution, a band-aid on a gaping cut. :)

If Akismet caught two of your own comments, you probably noticed 
immediately and unspammed them and the system learned from that. (As I 
assume it doesn't catch your comments today.)

That's the point!

There is no perfect spam system. However, one that learns can (I think) 
stay highly effective over the long term where more static systems might 
fail.

Think of it like training a dog. If you don't say "bad dog" when it 
makes a mistake, if you just cover your eyes and pretend the mistake 
didn't happen, it won't get any better and you'll reinforce bad habits.

Help make Akismet a good dog.
