Comments

by Gillian Polack

The spam filter needs glasses. It has been reading your comments as spam and eating them, by mistake. Until the problem resolves, I’ll try to go through every bit of spam manually, because I miss all your comments.

You might also want to check back and resend comments where they haven’t appeared. I will try to catch everything, but I’m a mere human being and this blog gets a lot of spam and I might miss something important. I don’t to lose your sage words, however.

I’m sorry about it (it’s not my fault, but I’m still sorry - I felt all kinds of deserted until I found out that the spam filter needed glasses) and I hope that someone will find a solution soon. It is being worked upon, but right now they’re not sure what can be done, since it comes from the previously brilliant spam program itself. I keep thinking that maybe some idiot spammers have invented new varieties of the stuff and that Akismet is hopelessly tangled. Hopeless entanglement is something I can sympathise with.

PS If you want cheering up, I’ve got two lovely new books that require disussion.
