Maintenance

Something I forget to do on a regular basis is comments maintenance.

I have this set up so that any comments on posts older than two weeks old, automatically go into moderation. You would NOT believe the amount of suspicious and dubious links, advertisements, solicitations and just generally totally unrelated stupid stuff that spammers try to place in here, on the sly, via comments to older posts. What's really hilarious are the ones written in languages I don't even understand. Like I would let those through!

So if you comment on something older, and don't see it posted right away - please don't take offense. It's just my way of trying to keep out junk. From here on in, I'll make an effort to check for moderated comments on a weekly basis.

For instance, I just went through, and deleted a few spam comments soliciting product distribution from overseas manufacturers- but included among the legitimate comments was one made to a post I had written in 2014! That was approved.

Thanks for your understanding. I really like when you guys comment, especially if I say something stupid. Keeps me on the up and up. I don't delete negative  comments or ones that take me to task unless they include vulgarity, and yes, there have been one or two of those over the past 20 years.
