Evidently spamming WarOnGuns is right up there.
This is one big reason why I have that pain in the neck CAPTCHA utility for comments.

You say that like it’s the only captcha facility in the world. It’s awful. Are a high-rise condo or a multi-building mansion “houses," or not? Is a billboard on a street a “street sign?” What the hell is a “storefront” in a teeny-tiny photo I can’t see, in an alphabet I don’t understand? (And it loves the damn “storefront” test — I get that three out of four times, easily).
Too bad your blog isn’t a Wordpress blog. They offer a raft of anti-spam plugins, some of which don’t even require captchas at all. I don’t kno what’s available for your platform, but certainly this one can’t be the only one.
Actually it is the only one I see offered on Blogger. I invite you to find me another option. And no, I'm not moving everything to a different platform.
As long as I have you on the line, what is it that you do diffently from everybody else when you comment? Because I always have to special approve your comments -- and only yours. The system sends them to the spam folder every time.
Beats me. I can’t speak to how other people comment, of course. I choose Name/URL, supply a name with no URL (URL says “optional” anyway), then I “prove I’m not a robot” and submit. Maybe I’m your only commenter who doesn’t use a Google or Facebook account to comment (I don’t have those). I also use an RSS reader (Vienna for the Mac) intead of a browser to read and comment on your blog; maybe your system doesn’t like it.
Sorry to hear about the paucity of choices in Blogger.
According to this analysis, it seems like you are indeed limited to no other choices:

I didn’t realize that Blogger was a Google creature. Certainly explains its lack of flexibility.
