An apology is due to some commenters.

This blog uses a spam filter, which notifies me occasionally that comments need moderating. I had thought that this meant I didn’t usually have to deal with spam comments - silly me.

Unfortunately, it has been filtering out some real comments as spam. In the last fortnight apologies are due to Cathy Marie and Peter (it has deleted all spam more than two weeks old, so I don’t know of anyone who made comments more than two weeks ago).

So far on this blog I have managed to maintain my goal of responding to every comment (or thought I had). If you have made a comment on this blog that has not been responded to it is because it was marked as spam without my realising.

I now have a new weekly job, to check the spam filter on this blog.  Apologies once again.  Evan
