I’m not sure why, but our spam filter has been kicking out posts for reasons that leave me scratching my head. We’re talking to the vendors about it.

Well, the “twitchy finger” twitches also if one posts a comment with more than two links to some online article in it. What happens is that one hits “submit” and, before there is time to revise one’s handiwork as it will be seen by others, it gets instantly bundled off to being “moderated”. That means that someone eventually will get to it and, by the time the comment is released and put into circulation, it is already way too late to make any corrections or clarify any obscure or misleading statements one not had realized previously that one had made. So people who read it, get to consume the comment ‘raw’, as it were.

It used to be that comments with more than three links might be given the instant “moderator” treatment. I hope that “more than one” is not the new normal here.

At least sometimes, and to me. Yesterday, for example, I posted one comment in my “classical” thread to two YouTube videos: one to Mozart’s 41 Symphony (“Jupiter”), the other to a Mozart’s concert for harp and lute. So: two links, then off to make some moderators’ day. I mean: yes, eventually, and regardless of this twitchy finger phenomenon, a moderator will come over and have a look, in case I am using bad language or whatever, and that will, no doubt, enrich this moderator’s life immensely. I am glad it does, but not so much is this is to be the new normal around here.

And one more thing: the general idea of The Python’s “spam” routine was later adopted with several changes by John Belushi and company in the “cheeseburger” skit, at the fabled Olympia” grease spoon in “Saturday Night Live.”

At least those posts are being Moderated. They could go to the Cosmic Bitbin though I have yet to see that happen here.
