I’m back from vacation and I see you guys have been busy! I’ve got comments to add to your comments, and I’ll get to those sometime today. But first I want to let y’all know what’s going on when you get an e-mail saying your comment is awaiting moderation. If you’re a new blogger (or an existing blogger posting under a new name), your comment won’t show up on the blog until I’ve had a chance to OK it. It’s designed to stop spam.

I get an e-mail telling me there a comment awaiting moderation, and as soon as I see it, I approve it. During the day this happens quickly, but at night, over the weekend or when I’m on vacation, it’ll take a little longer. Don’t worry, though–unless you’re spamming us or trying to sell something, it’ll happen…
