As documented here, I activated the heretofore unnoticed Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month checkbox in the Akismet WordPress plugin.
A month or so in, and my spam trap went from ginormous1 to next to none. And I can much more easily find any false positives that make it into [...]

I may get under 10 million hits a month here at this old blog; that doesn’t hinder me in upgrading to 2.6.1 WordPress. I just got finished; another flawless upgrade.

I’ve found it helpful after opening a support ticket, to follow up with a few e-mail notes to be added to the ticket. This causes activity in the ticket queue, and hopefully lets the support guys know they’re not dealing with someone who just fell off the yam wagon.
Sounds good, anyway. Or [...]
