As many of you may have noticed, my comments section sucks. If you've tried posting a comment recently, you're probably gotten some sort of 'I'm monitoring comments and will approve it soon' form letter. For some reason, though, the comment is never posted.
The deal is that I don't get any notification on comments, primarily because of the 20-40 spam comments posted on the site every day. Your comments basically has been lost in the sea of 18000 comments flagged as 'junk'.
Well, today, I did a little something to try and relieve the issue. It turns out that there were 5-6 blog entries with a majority of the spam... so I just stopped all comments on those major violators. Hopefully this will help me be able to find real comments among the 'junk' pile and be able to post them for reals.

Posted by: Shawn on December 9, 2006 02:14 PMFound you! I still have to approve your comment, even tough I tried setting you as a 'trusted' commenter.
Gotta play around with deleting some of the 18,000 junk comments to speed up the system, though...
