Retro-Spanking
If you’ve found your comments disappearing, it’s not part of some new memory-hole moderation policy. We recently discovered that our new spam filter has been “retro-spanking” comments — marking them as spam after they’ve been approved. We’re trying to fix this, but if you’ve been retro-spanked, send us some mail. (Unless you like that kind of thing.)
All of the comments wrongly marked spam have, as far as we know, been restored.
Wasn’t there a Monty Python song about…..

Dave receive any undue credit through the systematic abuse of Mucho’s many entries. The good dr. might impress the bureaucrats in the Dept. of Hompage Security through artificially bloating his spam capture count in this way, but we now know otherwise.
