Very Small Commentary on Comments

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Lately several people have commented on the site, generally positively — nice site, good job, etc. — but I wasn’t able to post their comments because they included a) a link to something offensive, irrelevant, or nonexistent; or b) a string of random keywords that were clearly inserted in the post just to serve the business interests of the poster. Now, I don’t mind if, as part of your commentary on my post, you include a link that my readers might find useful as they become better writers, or even better human beings. But please don’t assume my readers share your more esoteric interests. And as you’ve probably noticed by now, I really do moderate each of my comments individually. (I greatly doubt that most of the people who actually read my blog are the offenders here — I know I’m preaching to the choir — but it merited saying, anyway.)
