I can see how Askimet decides when a comment is a spam. But how does Askimet decide what is NOT a spam?

When you approve a false positive comment found in the Akismet spam queue Akismet learns.

Surprisingly, I already get over 100 comments each day. In my case over 99% of the comments are spam. But Askimet seems to think ALL the comments are spam. So, unfortunately, I have to browse through each comment to see if it is really a spam or not.

The vast and overwhelming maount of so-calle information on the interent is spam. over 80% of all so-called comments submitted to .wordpress.com blogs every day is spam.
