And most of the people that comment on my site are regulars so they were only caught once, so once I approved them they were good to go! I agree too that the spam comments that I get seem to be really easy to identify... lots and lots of links or really silly names. Hope you find a better solution for your spam problems.

The ones in script writing are a real pain. I don’t mind at all as long as they are easy like lightning said. The ones in script writing are a real pain.

I can understand the necessity in many cases. The blogger ones drive me absolutely crazy though!!!! Others I've come across don't seem too bad. I prefer the maths ones for the same reasons you've highlighted however, I prefer the numbers don't add up to more than 10 as then I run out of fingers!!!! LOL. I have Tan Tan Noodles which helps filter out a certain amount of spam before it gets to Akismet and make it a daily habit to check Akismet and then empty it so there's never too much in there to wade through checking for legitimate comments. This works okay for me but I wouldn't say my blog is exactly busy when it comes to comments or spam. I don’t really mind captcha IF they are easy to figure out AND work first time.
