The askimet plugin wordpress automatically provides the .com users takes care of almost all of it. Once in a while one sneaks through but for the most part we don't see them. Another thing wordpress does is allow you to set a date for closing comments, since it is usually the older posts that bring on the spam. You can set it to turn off the comment feature once a post is (for example) 3 months old... and that stops some of the spam. <br /><br />Don't even get me started on the blog scrapers. *They* are way worse than the spammers because they steal your posts in their entirety, and post them on their aggregator sites to earn money with pay-per-click ads. Dealing with them is a huge time suck.<br /><br />Anyway, I LOVE your Eclectic Company stuff!
