It has come to my attention, somewhat by accident, that I may be missing some of the comments that people are leaving here on the site. As most people who have commented here know, I do have some spam filtering automatically take place and when it’s not sure (which is most of the time) it asks me to verify the comment before it appears. If it thinks it’s probably legit but might be spam, it presents it to me in a “pending” folder that’s really easy for me to sort through. If it thinks it’s probably spam, it set it into a “spam” folder with a bunch of other junk. I used to skim through it really quickly before deleting the messages in there, and I would occasionally find one or two in there.
Since some recent updates, however, I now cannot look at what it thinks is spam. I know there are about 200 messages in there that have built up over the last month or two, but I have no idea if any of them are legitimate. And I’ve thought about switching comment formats, but I kind of like this one for other reasons and I suspect the problem will fix itself in the next update. In the meantime, however, if you posted a comment but don’t see it having been approved in a day or two, please let me know. And how would you let me know, you ask? Well, I’m glad you asked! I’ve created an email account for me to use with this site, and the address is “fattiny@lessofaman.com”, but you need to take the “fat” out for it to work. (I get enough spam from machines just filling up my comments, I really don’t need any more in email…) If anyone feels confused, remember that the first part is just “tiny” by itself.
So, hopefully the comment eating spam filtering hasn’t gotten you, but if it has please do let me know.


I comment on youro every post so if you don't see a comment, it got me!
