In the last couple of weeks the site’s spam filter has taken a holiday. It puts everything into moderation, including comments from long time commenters and obvious spam: formerly the former were automatically approved (for the most part) and the latter were automatically consigned to spam.

And it’s not just you. It holds my comments for moderation.

I apologize to those of you kind enough to comment whose contributions were hung up until I got around to wading through everything to approve them. I hope to get this resolved ASAP, but the hosting service is also on holiday 😛

And “getting around to it” is not an excuse. My grandfather had some round wooden blanks made with the words “to it” printed on them. He gave one to me, and said: “now you can NEVER say you didn’t get a round to it.” He also gave these out to his employees 😛

So reverting to my Navy plebe year: “no excuse, sir.” (One of the four permitted answers to a question.). I’ll work on getting it fixed ASAP. And in the meantime, please continue to comment if you are so inclined. They are always appreciated.

My best wishes to all for a Merry Christmas (belatedly) and Happy New Year (early, so on average I’m good!)
