Hey gang,

I woke up to 900 comment spams clogging this blog this morning. I’ve re-adjusted the filters for them, but –

I wasn’t about to read 900 comments to approve or delete them. I caught a couple of honest posts and was able to approve them. If you’ve left a comment in the past 15-20 hours and it hasn’t shown up on this site, it’s likely been deleted. I’m really sorry about that, but please repost your thoughts.

Also — don’t bold-face (with either the “B” or “STRONG” tags) anything in your comments. That’s blacklisted now. If you do that, your post won’t even see the moderation queue. It’ll be deleted immediately with prejudice. All the spam comments I received last night followed that pattern, so I’m blacklisting them.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
