[spam-stopper] I'm Being Listed as Spam

[Paul Westbrook]

Hello,
    The support from at akismet.com will be the best way for you to  
resolve this.  From your description either your email address, your  
url, or the ip address that you are commenting from is causing your  
comment to be marked as spam.  (I am assuming that you are not using  
the same comment body and comment title for the posts that you are  
making on these different websites.)
