Weblog Comment Problems
My apologies to anybody whose comments do not show up on this weblog or whose comments I seem to have ignored. I just discovered an entry that said “Comments (0)” but nonetheless had a comment. I don’t know what is going on with that, but be aware of the possibility of glitches. Also, if you comment on entries older than a week or so, the anti-spam software requires that I approve your comment before it appears, and I might not see that right away.
Social sanctions don’t work with spam, since there is no way to show disapproval to the spammer. That makes the case for government laws much stronger.
