More apologies this evening on the comments. This new software has an automatic comment-controller that– unknown to me– was eating up most of your comments and describing them as (sad to say!) “junk”!
Don’t feel bad about it. It even ate up a comment I was trying to post and described it as junk.
So I had to go in and change the settings on that. That freed up everyone’s comments… So let’s hope that I have now finally licked the last software glitch here??
Maybe tomorrow I’ll even have some time to write something substantive. H’mmm.
Meantime, please, y’all keep the comments coming so I can see if my settings are working! (Also, so you can express yourselves.) Thanks!
Update Wed. morning: It looks as though I got the junk filter tweaked just about right here. The filter let through a bunch of y’all’s legitimate comments but caught and put into a buffer-zone five comments that were ads for some male-enhancement product. One of the problems is that when I use words like “porn” in the title of a post they tend to attract certain spambots. But this filter on MT 3.2 seems good.
Can any readers familiar with MT 3.2 or similar tell me whether I can just rely on its integral filter and stop using MT-Blacklist now? Would that speed up the comment-posting process for legitimate commenters?
Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages of instituting a commenter’s registration process?
Thanks for any advice!

Okay, Helena, here’s a test message for you from the Smoke. For the record, the horrors crawling around underneath that S.H.I.T. “thing” that you turned up and turned over were as gag making as the body parts – porn tale. Straight out of Hieronymus Bosch.
Good comment, BMR, and thanks for putting it here. There’s a good discussion of the issue going on over on that other comments board right now…
I’m posting this in order also to check how the software will render my NAME this time… (Tweak, tweak).
May I ask how your name is pronounced? Five vowels there and I cannot figure which ones are long and which are short?
Um, sure, while I’m working on the comments here: The stress is on the first syllable in each word.
