oh, by the way, now even some of my comments that had _already_ been posted on the teleread blog have been removed. "for the good of the community", i'm sure...

anyway, i hope you're all getting a good chuckle out of this!
David Rothman is understandably concerned by the possible removal of comments, as noted in a just-posted TeleRead blog article: http://www.teleread.org/blog/?p=4661 Note that I think (but not sure yet), that the spam "doberman" which the TeleRead blog uses (specifically Akismet and Spam Karma 2) has the ability to go through already posted comments and remove them when the blacklist file is updated. Still trying to figure this out. A posting of some test comments by Bowerbird may help to track the problem. And it may be in his interest since if he is somehow blacklisted by SK2/Akismet, he may want to know since it may affect his ability to post elsewhere. I'm sure he might want to answer David's blog anyway, since David is asking for feedback on a proposed TeleRead comment policy, and Bowerbird certainly has a right to submit his thoughts on the topic.
