I have just spent the time between putting up the last post and now, deleting all the comment spam I have had since last doing any housekeeping on it. Whereas before you had to delete each list of 20 comments page by page, now wordpress allows you to search for keywords, and if the list is less than a certain amount (I’m guessing based on my searches that it’s 4000), the whole lot comes up. You can then select all and delete.
So I put on my thinking cap and here are the terms I used, and what they found (total 31479)

The last one was because I couldn’t think of any more actual terms to pull out of the gobbledegook with which I was left at this point, so I tried to capture all. As there happened to be under the maximum amount in the list at this point, it displayed all results, I unchecked legitimate comments, and thankfully deleted the rest.
Now to find wordpresses’ spam plug in…
