"Sorry, but your comment has been flagged by the spam filter running on this blog: this might be an error, in which case all apologies. Your comment will be presented to the blog admin who will be able to restore it immediately. You may want to contact the blog admin via e-mail to notify him.". That doesn't make much sense. If " Your comment will be presented to the blog admin who will be able to restore it immediately" then why would I have to contact the blog admin separately? It sounds to me like [the blog admin] should see "immediately" that there is nothing wrong and my comment should be posted here by now ! Excuse me, but there was ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with the comment I'm trying to post. Your spam filter is flawed. Also you really should provide a link to contact the "blog admin' to whom it was suggested I contact. I used the "Contact Us" link, but there was no way to contact a specific "Blog admin". I hope it gets to the right person. Unfortunately this isn't the first time I've run into problems using this web site. I hope that my comment gets posted here soon. Not nearly as many people look at comments from older items as they do that day's news items. Also the further down a thread a comment is, the fewer people see it.
