I don't know what is going on, but most new comments seem to be getting held for moderation and/or sent by the spam filter into my junk folder. I have just retrieved a bunch of them from the junk folder (including one of my own) and gotten them published. However, I am about to leave for an overnight trip and won't be back until late tomorrow evening, and won't have computer access the whole time. Please be advised that if your comment does not show up, it may be due to whatever strange glitch is causing this weird behavior of my spam filter. I'm sorry, and will get all comments published ASAP when I get back.
Thanks to all of you for reading and commenting.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the unscientific survey on commenting. The results are back, and I'd like to share them with you.
As many of you have noticed, we've been talking about comments a lot here lately, both at BioE and on Sb in general. There's also a big session on online civility…
Okay, since I upgraded to MT 3.2, I haven't gotten a single comment on this blog and this is highly unusual. Is everyone just lurking? I've had almost a thousand hits so far today and not a word from anyone. It makes me wonder if I've got something screwed up and it's not letting comments through.…
It's high time that I make a note about how comments are handled on this blog. This has been made particularly urgent by the fact that I was until recently getting an overwhelming amount of spam comments, which in turn led me to up the spam filter, which in turn led some real comments to be…
This seems to be an ongoing problem at Thus Spake Zuska. Can you please get someone to help you re: the commenting and spam / moderating system used here?
I appreciate that you post entries to let people know that there's a problem.
I have asked our tech wizard to look into what is going on. FWIW, I believe it is happening on other blogs at SB. Again, all I can say is I'm sorry and I am trying to get someone to fix it as soon as possible. I don't know what the problem is.
Oh, so it may be a system-wide problem, perhaps? Hm.
Thanks for kind response. I hope I didn't sound too curt in my first comment.
