Messrs WordPress provide good spam filters. This is just as well, as in the last twenty-four hours they have found over 200 messages that they think are spam.
Unfortunately I have neither the time nor the enthusiasm to review every message that is caught in the spam filters: I just delete the lot. If, Gentle Reader, your Comment has not appeared, it may have been caught in the filters, and in that case it has gone. But if you have made several [sane, intelligent] comments, and they have all been caught in the spam traps, do please let me know (somehow) and I’ll try to do something about it.
