Spam!

I have just recently found out that Blogger has enabled auto-spam detection and quarantined comments it suspects to be spam, which is where many of the missing comments have been headed. I've just gone through and published all the (non-spam) comments mistakenly trapped there, and I'll take to checking the box more regularly now that I've discovered its existence.

As to why the particular comment-authors in question are so consistently taken to be spam, I venture no public opinion.
