A brief comment on comments
There have been some good comments around here in the last few days, on Jon Robin Baitz’s blog meltdown and the new show Eli Stone, for example, and I’d like to thank those of you who have taken the time to share your opinion. Even though I don’t respond to comments very often, I do read them and appreciate them. Keep ‘em coming!
Er, that is, keep ‘em coming, but don’t be surprised if they don’t appear as soon as you press the “submit comment” button. The spam filter on this blog has been hyperactive lately, and is snapping up every comment made, whether it’s spam-worthy or genuine, and consigning it to the dungeon. Bad spam filter!
I have been reaching into the cesspool of spam comments two or three times a day to retrieve the worthwhile offerings, so rest assured that your comments will eventually show up. I’d say that looking through the spam that’s deservedly caught is an eye-opening experience, but what I really feel like doing after seeing what gets splattered up against my site is closing my eyes, hard, and never opening them again. And washing out my brain, vigorously.
Please, then, if you have something to say that does not involve pornography, post a comment so that there will be worthwhile things for me to read in there. And if you really are looking for cheap drugs, easy credit, naked pictures of Angelina Jolie, or, to directly quote one item, “Kim Possible cartoon sex,” you’re out of luck, I’m deleting all that stuff as fast as I possibly can.

Cesspool of spam is a very good way to put it! Hang in there and know the rest of us are just as frustrated as you are about the comments but hopefully it will be fixed soon.
