Mine's at about 300, but I also use Bad Behavior which cuts down on spam quite a bit.

Odd, I use Bad Behaviour as well, but mine is 1500! - Who knows how these things work! hehe

I'm not sure what mine is; I still manually delete the spam every few days. I know I deleted them all a few days ago, and I just checked, and I had around 800.

I also saw that Akismet has nabbed about 25K spam comments for me so far. (!)

So far this week I've had 600.

Spambots love me. You'd think they wouldn't bother when none of their comments ever surface.

Mine is around 7-10. Don't know why it's so low, but it's probably a traffic issue. :(

I manually delete mine which are around 10-20 per day, few enough to manage. With Google still upset with me after I switched domains it seems the spambots are having a harder time finding me. I recently got two days of no spam, which kind of freaked me out.

Is there any reason people delete them rather than just let them delete themselves after the 15 days?

I was clearing them out about twice a week (about 50 each time) w/o even scanning through them but then I was notified by a few commenters that their comments had disappeared and had probably been marked as spam. So now I at least look through them...

I manually clear out my spam comments about once every other day. After about two days, I have around 20-30 spam comments.

I don't have my cms auto delete the spam comments after a few days because I still don't trust that all my spam comments are spam. I don't know why, but I always feel like I have to check them out first to make sure it's not a legitimate comment that Akismet marked as spam.

The same goes with e-mail spam.

Every now and then I'll just empty the bin. Last time I did it was ten days ago and I've got 1048 in the bin. I don't check for false positives anymore.
