To thwart spam, comments by new people are held for moderation;
give me a bit of time and your comment will show up.
I welcome comments -- even dissent -- but I will delete
without notice irrelevant, rude, psychotic, or incomprehensible comments,
particularly those that I deem homophobic, unless they are amusing.
The same goes for commercial comments and trackbacks.
Sorry, but it's my blog and my decisions are final.
