yeah. but - if I am not mistaken - blacklist still allows them to view 
your site. I mean a total blockade - with exception of proxys ( grr ) - 
of this person. I know that there are other tools out there, SPam Krama, 
that does this. but it is not as comprehensive as Akismet. I am thinking 
of a more powerful Akismet. Power in the sense of the blogger can 
control more with out needing more plugins
