The bigger issue is that I'm not sure why these comments are not being posted immediately. Most people do not seem to be having this problem. I will be travelling for the next ten days or so, but when I return I will try to determine what is going on.

Do the sequestered comments have links in them? I've found at some blogs, including 3 or so links was enough to ensure quarantine.

I guess you've been away, because I can still comment on your blog, unlike the other ScienceBlogs.
