Oops
About a month ago, my site was besieged by spammers leaving comments about subjects from V!@gr@ to "hot pennie st0ck optionz." So I turned the spam filter up. The barrage continued. Filter went up another couple notches. Still floweth the spam. I took it to the next level. The junk stopped. And so did your comments.
I just figured I had bored my friends and family into boycotting my drivel. But it turns out, you were posting spam too. Or so thought Movable Type. So today I turned the spam filter back down a notch in the hopes it will recognize the difference between you and the unwanted missives of Courteously Q. Concussion.
Once again, to clarify, I was not conspiring against you or trampling all over your First Amendment rights (in fact, I fully support your right to petition the government for redress of grievances ... just leave me the hell alone while you're doing so). You were a temporary casualty of an overzealous application of technology. Sorry 'bout that.

For the record, that would be the Howard Johnson in Hotel Circle in San Diego.
