I welcome and encourage your comments! Please note, however, that due to excessive spam I have aggressively tweaked my comment filter. If your comment contains words that are commonly associated with spam, it will be deleted automatically and will not go into moderation.
It would seem that I also now need to add the wording that my brother uses on his blog. Since he puts it so well, I will quote him directly here: “While I encourage free debate, I don’t tolerate ad hominem attacks. Snark yes, rudeness no. And since it’s my blog, I get to determine which is which…Since I have very little free time in which to administer this blog, rude commenters who continue in the face of warning will be treated as spammers.”
If you have sent me a comment and it does not appear within a few days, it may have been automatically deleted; in that case, please feel free to email me directly at: abbyharp AT aol DOT com.
Also, please note that if you are submitting a comment for the first time to this blog, your comment will automatically go into moderation. In order for comments to appear publicly, I need to approve your email address. I generally check my blog each day, so moderated comments are usually reviewed within twenty-four hours.
Thank you for reading!
