You are behaving oddly. You let in my FUCK YOU, but not my damn. You have some pathologies to deal with. Either that, or it is Cliffy that is messing with my mind. Hmmm. OK, Mr. Filter.

Be kind, Spam Filter. My feelings are delicate.

I bet it's the spam filter. As you know, I like swearing as much as the next fucker, but spam comments often contain a lot of it, so it's probably being picked up. As for the new PC, it could be that I have to approve a few times. That's what sometimes happens. If there's any button on the comments field that says "Remember me on this computer" when you leave a comment, it's probably best to check that box.

I thought you didn't like me any more. Or, disliked me a little more than usual. I got a new machine. It's shiny and has that new-computer smell. Or, it could be because I said the word "damn." If THIS comment gets waylaid in approval hell, then it's my "damn" problem that's nibbled me on the ass, again. Damn. That explains it. I thought you didn’t like me any more.

If you mention certain words it filters out things, but also if you're using a different machine from the one you are normally approved on, it holds it for me to approve. Or if you include a bunch of links in a post it does it too, as that's the hallmark of a spammer. In my defence, it has caught 22,274 spam comments this year alone and for some reason the one above published just fine. New readers - your first comment wil be held in moderation first time you post, but after that you can post as you please. Hey Tom - I use a spam filter which has a mind of its own.

I'm pissed! How come my comment is awaiting moderation! What are you going to do? clean it up!? It's fine just as it is. You know that wonderful song. Ah-hem, I'll sing a few bars -- or IN a few bars. Ha-ha. "I love yoooou JUST the waaay you aaaare!" Hey! I’m pissed! How come my comment is awaiting moderation!

Damn common. And, thank you, Cliff, I say. I'm the guy who sits next to Sam on the bus. You know what might impress me? I'd really like to see a quote of Emerson's where he cusses. You got one of those? I’m common. Damn common. And, thank you, Cliff, I say. I’m the guy who sits next to Sam on the bus.
