The spam filter is a bit underactive and a bit overactive these days
Lately I’ve noticed that a few spam comments have been escaping the filter and getting posted. I get rid of them and I also have certain additional ways of blocking them before they even appear. Hopefully my methods will bear fruit soon.
In addition, I’ve noticed that a slightly-increased number of bona fide comments are getting filtered out by that very same span filter. Just now, I liberated three or four of them from the last week and they should be showing. That’s the rate I’m talking about; it’s not high. But if you notice that you’re having difficulties of that nature with a certain comment that has no obvious offensive content, just email me and I’ll try to find it and fix it. But there may be a time lag.
For the most part, the spam filter is still working quite smoothly.
Boring inside-baseball stuff, I know. But there’s always a certain amount of that sort of thing with a blog, usually kept behind the scenes.
If you get some interesting bots, I wouldn’t mind if you posted their “contributions”– we can all use a good laugh these days.

We got trouble my friends, right in the USA, Trouble. Trouble with a capital T and the rhymes with B, and that stands for Biden!
My first on-stage role was as a chorus member in our high school production of The Music Man.
I love that show!
