I just got a notice that my blog will be "moderated" and won't be available until then.
What's that crap about?
Congratulations!

Why moderated? What will it mean?
I haven't a clue what this "moderation" note MR cited yesterday is in regard to, but please don't let her get away again, she is providing inspiration, opening minds and hearts and her courage is highly commendable. So I'd appreciate your letting her be.
Thank you for your consideration!
Frankly SW, I think it's another one of the weird crappolas that happen with this site that makes no sense.
For those that give a sh*t at this point [since there is no proper editor on this site] the new Mozilla firefox has automatic spellcheck for anyone who cares that much *winK*
I'll make it a point to use m firefox if it's here, I care, but I don't have the patience.
Huh - thats odd. We don't currently have that feature turned on. I'll look into it.
* update - so Chris, the new web guy working out of the Montreal office, installed at my request a spam filter. Most of you will notice we have been getting a lot of spam on the site. So this is a filter to try and block this. Unfortunately it seems to be overzealous. Where you writing a blog on viagra? :)
Seriously, I'll look into why this is happening. On the plus side, it has already grabbed quite a bit of spammy content. Its odd that it has blocked yours, however. We'll try and fix this.

I dunno why it went weirdly.
Spam filters are a GOOD thing...
I've started "spam blocking" activists in my email because they are so daft they CC piles of people [instead of bc] and I'm sick to death of clearing 20 spam messages out of my email before I get onto the real news.
I can't fathom why anyone in this day and age who is emailing more than 20 people cannot understand that you cannot simply CC without spreading spam all over *sigh*.
It's become one of my major pet peeves...
The spam filters learn. They learn what is and what isn't spam based on algorhythms and databases of spammers. Something in your post set it off, or perhaps it was a setting that was overzealous.
Thanks for the insight.
Sorry to give the poor site a spam attack *laff*
The site ain't poor, it's got you keeping us on our toes or our asses or whatever...
