Well as long as your comment relevant and dont comment JUST for the sake of links...and always sign off with your real name. Then I have no issues with keywords as your name on the comment form.

Human spammers still about getting 1-2 spam comments a week so not to bad...but sometimes the ones that come through give me doubts :p Though I have no-followed all the comments as well for a while now; there is a Top Commenter widget on the front page so the 'reward' aspect is still there Thanks for dropping by man; yea it does get tiresome sometime hence my numerous article on preventing auto spam.
