Reminder to Commenters

• Comments on this blog are moderated. If you do not see your comment right away, it is in moderation. Please do not post the same comment more than once.
• I have a life. Sometimes I can read comments in moderation very soon after they have been posted. Sometimes, they will sit for most of the day. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
• If you don't see your comment after several hours, it means A) I haven't moderated it yet or B) I moderated it and rejected it.
• If you have put a hyperlink into your comment, I will hold that comment until I can take my time reading what is at the link. Expect that you will remain in moderation for several hours if you add a hyperlink.
• If you state in the comment that it is not for publication, I will not publish it. In those cases, I recommend you use the contact link in the right-hand menu instead of leaving a comment.
• If you have said something that appears to be humorous, satirical, ironic, etc., and which could easily be misunderstood, I'm probably going to hold the comment until I can add a follow up or else not publish it. I may get the joke but I hate cleaning up after people who didn't.
• Anyone who reads my comments can see that I'll approve and release stuff that I strongly disagree with as long as it is civil and thoughtful. Conversely, lack of civility or thoughtfulness, even when the commenter agrees with me, will earn a rejection.
• If you are rude, TYPE IN ALL CAPS, look like you're getting into a pointless pissing match with another commenter, spam, or generally annoy me, you will be rejected.
• I sometimes release comments that demonstrate the commenter is a moron. If you posted that comment and get ridiculed because you said something moronic, too bad. Think before you post.
• I sometimes get way behind in moderating comments and I just reject the entire batch to clear things out. Nothing personal.
• I run this blog for my own purposes. I'm not here to promote your blog, support your cause, or otherwise make you happy. If I don't release your comment or add you to my blogroll or mention you in a post, that's life.
• Comments of the "I agree!" and "Me too!" variety probably won't be released.
