I'll have to look for the akismet contact form- we've been deleting Akismet on all installations- using Spam Karma- but that may have to change... Thanks again. D’Arcy, I would NEVER SPAM.

I think they just whitelisted you somehow... hopefully this also means you're clear to comment on other Akismet-protected sites without interference. Just don't spam, or it could come back to me for vouching for you ;-) wahoo! that’s how it’s supposed to work :-)
