A note on comments/spam

Our spammers in the comments seem to have become more subtle.  Or perhaps this blog just attracts high quality spam.  At any rate, if you are not a spammer, but an actual reader, and you try to post a comment but it does not appear, please alert us, either by posting a comment about it -- along with your original comment, or by emailing us.  It is perfectly fine to link your comment to your bio or your own blog, but comments with links are most likely to get mis-identified as spam.
