If you’ve ever posted a comment here and wondered why it didn’t appear right away–or maybe not at all–you can blame it on spam. I get a ton of spam comments here, so I have set up this blog to require that I must personally approve comments before they appear.
Take this weekend, for example. I hadn’t moderated comments all weekend, so when I logged on to do it just now, there were more than 1,700 comments in the moderation queue! Of that, only four were not spam. How’s that for a low signal-to-noise ratio?
Not only that, but in the short time (less than a half hour) that it took me to moderate the comments, 44 new ones arrived! You can see that if I didn’t require approval, this blog would quickly be useless.
So, I apologize for the delay, but I hope you’ll stick with me and excuse me if I accidentally delete a comment. If your comment doesn’t appear in a couple of days, please e-mail me, and I’ll either go approve it or insert it manually. I really do appreciate your comments.
Thanks!
