So if you get alot like Stoney, it's probably a good idea to turn this on.

I know mine gets deleted daily, but that's because I get about 3,000+ spam messages a day. Doesn’t Akismet automatically delete your spam after a few days anyway?

I had almost 4,000. An important thing to distinguish though is that under the new Wordpress release you can now teach it what is spam and what is not. So, for those comments that do not immediately end up as "Akismet Spam," but they are spam, it is best not to delete them but "mark them as spam." If you don't have this feature obviously it is time to upgrade to the new version. Thanks for reminding me. I had almost 4,000.
