A quick note about comments

Recently I accidentally deleted at least two perfectly legit comments that I know of, and possibly more that I don’t. What’s going on is that the blog has been absolutely inundated by spam, and the creaky interface has made it difficult to impossible to prevent, which means I end up deleting literally dozens of spam comments in big purges throughout the day. I’ve accidentally caught a couple of for-real comments in these purges. I apologize to their authors, and to anyone who’s tried to or actually commented around here lately. I promise it was an accident–I’ve never deleted a single comment on this blog for content reasons.
