Delayed Comments
I saw a complaint in Comments about someone's comments being delayed.
Once again, I will point out... all commenters who are "trusted" in the Movable type system are published without any limitations.
As it turns out, there were two commenters who had eight total comments held up by Movable Type. I don't check "unpublished comments" very often, because they are rare. The usual hang-up, when I find them, is what the system decides is too many http links in the comment.
All those comments are now published.
And if anyone EVER has a situation where the system doesn't publish the comment, PLEASE let me know and I will try to correct immediately.
I do not moderate, edit or remove comments. (There have been maybe 3 examples of edits - with a note from me, explaining - and I think 1 or 2 removals - again, with public explanation - over the years.) It is a core principle of doing this blog that the door is wide open to all voices who wish to comment. The only reason we have any limitations at all is that there are blog spammers that are relentless when you let down your digital defenses.
So again... tell me if you have a problem and don't assume you've been banned or are being censored. You are not.

It's all good...I didn't get paranoid...I just got confused and figured it was because I changed my sig name up. Thanks for fixing it though....I never meant to imply I was being censored.
