Over-Protected
Like many bloggers, I employ anti-spam software to keep adverts and other inappropriate comments off my site. Ideally my filters block comments from anyone who is trying to pedal viagra, violent sex, verificationism etc., and let through comments from legitimate readers.
But I was browsing through my list of banned strings (as one does - in the back of my mind I was thinking about something that Kenny Easwaran said a while ago - that he thought my site might be blocking comments containing the string "...") and I discovered that I'm also blocking the string "ucalgary.ca". Quite right too - we don't want any of Richard Zach's nonsense around here. But since I also discovered "uni-heidelberg.de" and "hw.ac.uk" (Herriot-Watt, fine Scottish institution that you are, I am so so sorry), and (crikey, talk about shooting myself in the foot) "web.mit.edu", I thought I'd better do some cleaning up. My sincere appologies to anyone who has tried to post a comment but been blocked by my anti-spam software. I'll keep a closer eye on it in future.
