		<description>[...] One of the people, a woman named Leone, wrote with the email address of this Linda Christas. There&#8217;s this woman who either really works there or is a scam of some sort who calls herself Dr. Ann. This person has posted comments on my blog and other blogs. At first the comments seem to match up to the content. Then they go off topic and start this rant against Askimet. It seems Linda Christas is on a crusade against Askimet, and they&#8217;re trying hard to pull other people into the process. If you think I&#8217;m the only one who sees this and is calling it out, check out this post on TechPatio titled Comment Spam, She’s Back: Dr. Ann Voisin From Linda Christas College. And if you want to see his first post on this person and this college, which was only days earlier, check this one out as well, titled Akismet Blocking Your Blog? No Way, Just a SPAM Trick!.

		<description>Hi Gaston - nice to have yet another person from Linda Christas college commenting on my blog, especially considering you guys claim that Akismet is deleting your comments before we ever see them :)

I have no idea why you say that *I* am cheering Shiel and Mullenweg up. I don&#039;t even know what/who Mullenweg is. I assume Shiel is Axel Shiel from Akismet, which I have nothing to do with.

I&#039;m still wondering why students at Linda Christas must comment on do-follow blogs and put down a link to toysperiod....</description>

		<description>Dear Klaus,

I hope after all this stuff, you understand now that Prof Voisin was alot smarter than you thought she was.

There is nothing at all in the way of a spam trick involved here.

And, the sooner so called experts like yourself get behind the white hats instead of the black hats, the sooner the cess pool that is Akismet will be cleaned up.

Sorry you felt you had to mock people. But, isn&#039;t that what bullies do.

And, make no mistake, Shiel and Mullenweg are bullies with you evidently cheering them on.

takes all kinds.</description>

		<description>Okay, subject closed. But my comment wasn&#039;t about Ann &amp; Co. (didn&#039;t even know about them before reading this post). It was about the validity of her complaint. But thanks for not shutting my voice (like Akismet would does) or &quot;spamming&quot; me as I believe someone somewhere did thus causing me all these problems with Akismet.</description>

		<description>Hi David,

Oh it&#039;s very simple. I crazy about the good work that Akismet is doing for my blog. It has a 99.365% accuracy rate, that&#039;s over 16,000 SPAM comments, an average of 50 spam comments a day - that I would otherwise have had to process manually, if it wasn&#039;t for Akismet. So instead of me having to &quot;remove spam from pending comments&quot;, I&#039;d rather &quot;remove pending comments from spam&quot;. And yes, maybe once in a while a comment does get caught in spam that I don&#039;t see and it will be gone forever, but that&#039;s just as likely (or perhaps, even more likely) to happen with e-mail spam filters. 

Other than that, I pretty much consider this matter closed. If you have a blog/website, feel free to speak your mind about you think about Ann and their/the company in a post of your own :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m mad as hell! How can you dismiss Ann&#039;s comment outright and then run to defend Akismet just like that?! I did not use my site&#039;s URL on this comment, though there was a box provided for this. You wanna know why? Because this comment would have been BLOCKED, that&#039;s why. Yes, Akismet does universally block URLs. And yes, contrary to what you seem to believe, they ARE doing what you think is stupid (I think so too, but big companies can get arrogant and stupid). The comment from Ann is valid. I know this first-hand.</description>

		<description>Ik vind akismet niet zo&#039;n hele goede plugin. Wp-SpamFree vangt bij mij ongeveer alle spam. En zo kan je ook woorden invoeren die niet mogen voorkomen, die comments worden dan ook automatisch geblokkeerd.
