Is it just me or has the number of Spam comments gone down recently?

I have been noticing that in the past few weeks I haven’t received as many Spam comments on this blog as I used to. That is good of course, but on the other hand it could be the lull before the storm.

In any case, I decided to see if it’s just me or has there been a slump in the number of spam comments overall. So, I headed over to Akismet.com (home for my favorite anti-spam service) and looked at the Spam graph that they maintain. Here it is below:

And look at it, it shows a slump alright. There were some serious spikes during April and early May, but it has been downhill ever since.
