Oooops. I've been wondering why nobody's been commenting on my extraordinarily insightful musings, not to mention the other 99% of drivel on this site. Turns out that, in cranking up my spam filter, all comments--including comments from Yours Truly--were getting shunted into the Junk file.
I took a peek into the Junk area and discovered about 30 legitimate comments lurking among the 4000+ comments since the beginning of the year (lots and lots of frustrating spam). All of the non-spam comments have now been published. I hereby grovel at your cyber-feet in apology. I will accept contributions of dust and ashes.
Those comments include a bunch from my September 2006 post about Ann Kiemel. We're up to 43 comments now. Type "Ann Kiemel" into Google, and that post is at the very top. Amazing.
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
4000+ comments - and only 30 legit? Ouch... With the two CMSes/blogging tools I use, I'm almost spam free. Expression Engine has gotten a few (mostly submitted by real people), and Textpattern has maybe had one.
