Just a quick administrative note.
My spam software seems to be twitching and gibbering suddenly. It’s sucking some comments into the spam box and not others.
Thus far, the only commenters affected are (some of) those who have been part of the discussions here for years. Since I’ve been fishing them out non-stop for the last two days, with no end in sight, please drop me an email if you post a comment that doesn’t immediately appear.
It may be that I need to reconfigure the Akismet settings and require first-time approval for all commenters again. (Just at the moment, that may not be a bad thing… )
Thanks for your patience.
