   My own stupid fault - some comments appearing on my site ARE spam

   I think Akismet spotted them, but I was too dumb to recognise them as spam at the time they first appeared. (It became obvious once the same quotes from the same people appeared).

   Now, I'd like to go through the 800 or so comments on my site and get rid of the spam. Can I used Akismet to do this?

   that could be tough - you can't use akismet
   the problem is you approved them so they are no longer spam - so how would any software differentiate what you want?
   there are plugins to delete a mass of spam comments from the database, but like I said, these aren't spam any more
