There are also likely places overseas where manual comment spam is done. The "captchas" will usually prevent the automated bots from posting. Spam catcher plugins have data bases with the overseas IPs and they do a pretty good job of blocking those. Jay (great name BTW!) – almost all of the spam commenting is done by automated spambots.

I use a math comment plugin but I think i will change to the one you mentioned. By the way, the other math protection is hilarious!
