Lost and missing comment posts.

It has been brought to my attention, by a blog reader from America, that comment posts are going missing.

This reader said she had written three comment posts which had not been posted - and was rather put out by it. Well, as I wrote to her, the explanation is simple: I never received the comments. Now this poses the question: how many of your comments are going missing? Is this a general phenomenon? Are people getting frustrated with comments not appearing?

Well, all I can say is that this is the second time someone has asked about comments which I have never received. There is no telling how many people might be affected by this. I post all comments unless they are mad, rude, or likely to pose a problem if read by children. Thankfully, very few posts come into those categories - so almost all comments get posted. If yours has not been posted - and it is not one of those three kinds - then it is probable that I never received your comment post.

I do not know what the problem is - but it seems that, sometimes, blogger does not pass comments onto me. It could be that the commenter is not following comment protocol and is failing to register the comments, properly. Or it could be that blogger is simply losing the comments. I do not know.

So, if you have commented and it hasn't appeared - try again - or email me with the comment and I will see if ever received the comment post in the first place. Thanks.
