@Suba – some sites I visit make me enter the 2 numbers every time (drives me nuts) – do you know why that would be? I also used to use conditional captcha but it was always letters – I never did find the numbers one.
As others have mentioned, Akismet has probably marked you as spam. I was in the spam hell for quite some time, so were a lot of other bloggers

I was among the list of "spammers". We tried everything to get out, but nothing worked. Finally I just changed the email I use for commenting (from my domain email to gmail) then it started working fine. Everyone used to have just Akismet, only after a lot of us started getting eaten by the spam hole, people started adding Conditional captcha. Now I don't mind the conditional captcha (I hate the recaptcha or whatever that is that shows those squiggly letters that I can never read), but I would be very annoyed if I had to enter it every time. In that case I would prefer the click.
