A quick update to let visitors to this blog know that I appear to be having some issues with the comment system. I have contacted IntenseDebate’s tech support people and am hoping to get some resolution before anything worse happens.
What happened? Yeah, well, I lost a couple of comments. One apparently is permanently gone, but I was able to retrieve and re-post the other. Most frustrating, but I shall refrain from whingeing.
If you have posted a comment and not seen it show up, please know that—unless I’ve personally told you I was going to (probably because you have actually threatened me in a comment or proven yourself to be a total nutcase, wanker, crank, git or prat)—I have not blocked you. And don’t worry that maybe your comment wound up being erroneously flagged as spam. I regularly check on the Oubliette (which, I suppose, is kinda funny that I do that and still call it an oubliette) de spam to make sure there’s only the excretory vomit of spammers and ne’er-do-wells emprisonné dans l’enfer existentiel.
UPDATE: No word yet from the tech people at IntenseDebate, which I understand it’s late and all—but…. The comment I re-posted has vanished again! I checked my blog out in another browser and it’s not showing up there, either, so I’m fairly convinced it’s gone from the page (though not from the WP Dashboard). I’m not yet having the fantods over it, but I am certainly about ready to send the present comment system packing in favor of—oh, I dunno, Disqus, maybe? ::shakes fist at IntenseDebate people in an unhappy manner::
