I found that most of my spam comments were on articles that were older 
than 30 days, so I whipped up the noOldComments plugin, which you can 
find at http://bwinton.latte.ca/temp/noOldComments.py

I know, it seems stupid that something so simple would block 98% of my 
spam comments, but there you go.  :)
