The moderation of comments
I should have mentioned this earlier.
Thanks to Lord Voldemort the Spammer(s) (hereinafter referred to as You Know Who), comments are open but moderated. I wish this weren't so because I think it's a pain to make a comment and then not see it appear right after you write it. Movable Type does have a system to use Typekey to allow registered commenters who then could post without approval, but, although I have asked it to work, MT is apparently still pondering. Will probably be working on that this week.
Until then, if you come (and you're not You Know Who), please comment. They really will appear eventually.
(It also would be easier if MT would email me the comments when they're made, but it appears to have chosen a random pattern of emailing that makes no sense and results in me getting email almost never--working on that at some point too.)
