## Description

Whenever I visit my site’s dashboard, the first thing I see is the bold red Spam
count.

Instead of wasting time deleting spam comments, I prefer to let Akismet do that 
automatically, so I don’t need to see how many spam comments there are.

This little plugin simply hides that part.
