Do you need Mollom?

Blake, who runs LISNews.com battles spam all the time, and reports that he has switched to Mollom and has been amazed at the increase in comments the site has been getting (reports news about libraries and supports librarians' blogs). Apparently, the other spam filters he'd been using had been turning down comments or frustrating users. I don't know what filter blogger.com uses, but it certainly better than what my OSU e-mail service uses. I clean off 10-20 spam a day at my bruce dot site, and only a few at my other RR e-mail. But don't forward me jokes, smear stories on Obama, or cutsy photoshoped images of Palin, because I don't want your plate of cookies, thank you.
