I am going to be out of the country for the next little while. Posting may slow down a bit, and I will not be able to rescue comments that get stuck in my spam filter as quickly as I can while I’m in Canada. I’m usually able to pull them out within minutes using my phone. But Steve tells me that under our data plan, each one will cost me 75 cents while I’m in the U.S. I love you guys, but that’s a bit steep for me.

The filter can be particular and even unreasonable at times. It usually lets comments through right away with no problems. But if it doesn’t recognise you or thinks you might be causing trouble, it holds your comment for my approval. Don’t ask how it can tell who is causing trouble; I don’t totally understand it. The only thing I know is that it’s usually right.

I will check the filter at least once each day so I can rescue any legitimate comments that get stuck in there. If you get a message that your comment is being held for my approval, there is no need to re-submit it; I’ll release it as soon as I get back to the computer.
