[wp-hackers] Akismet is conspiring against me ;)

Kates,

I have written on the subject twice.  I think Akismet is a great service,
and applaud its creators.  But because it is a black box, there is no
recourse to being labeled a spammer.  I really did teach Akismet I was a
good guy.

Since I wrote those posts, I believe Akismet has gotten much better.
