Yea I know. Technorati makes some really neat tools. I didn’t coin “eat there own”, but I seem to be first with “sport-of-kings”

I'll probably migrate sometime in the next few days. Thanks for the advice re: SK!

It was a small bug when Wordpress 2.0.1 came out, if you were still using Spam Karma 2.0, well, SK2 could not deal with the new way Wordpress handled comments. I lived with the comment problem for forever, and finally did a google quest to figure it all out. I learned two things, 1)the search over at WordPress.org sucks, and 2) there was an upgrade for SK2.0 . Anyway, I upgraded to SK2.2, kept whatever defaults were set, and have only had to manual kill 2 or 3 comments in a few months. I'm assuming those few were hand inserted. You get an email every day with any comments that were close, but still got marked as spam. Works great. Zero false positves in the last 2 months. Also, there's a XSS vrunability, You should be at either 2.0.9 like my Wordpress bolg is or the new 2.1.1 sorry, I clearly saw my comment being displayed, yet the counter was at zero.

Although as comment spam is becoming a bit of a bother, I'm investigating my options. Any recommendations? I don’t actually use Spam Karma 2.2 or even have it installed; I still do comments manually.

There also is a clear linky chain from Instapundit >> Tam's >> You. I've been trying to use other tools, unfortunately, Technorati seems to get stupid if you search back beyond a week or so. Google Blogs is not all inclusive enough either. Making the timeline was interesting exercise in sorting information. I wanted to work in my language-as-a-virus phrase "sport of kings" (which Kevin Baker seems to have picked up subconsciously) and whomever coined "eat their own" but finally decided it was not significant. Sadly, searching through Technorati clearly shows that the Zumbo bubble hasn't burst yet. You seem to be first, and I’ve read a lot of post lately over the Zumbo thingy.
