More comment fixes

Three things —
Since the last comment-checker thing seems to have worked remarkably well so far, I’m going to slowly start rolling back some of the moderation queues. AOL users in particular should appreciate this.

I may go ahead and implement a follow-up fix (also by Dave Pease), that sets a cookie in your browser so you only have to go through the anti-spammer check once. So keep an eye out.

Also in the near future, I’ll “get on the no-follow” bandwagon as one reader suggested. That’ll change the way links in comments work in a way that should be transparent to visitors but help things a little on our side.

    Yes! You don’t know how many times I have forgotten to turn the toggle thing. This is very good.

    On the other hand, maybe it’s working just fine as it is… 🙂

    Yup. I am almost done with the construction of my own blog though (probably sometime tonight I’ll be up), so we’ll see less of David J. Corcoran commenting here.

    FYI, i don’t know if this is a significant or a random oddity, but a second ago i tried to go to the web-page and got a word-press screen instead.

    i don’t suppose it is a good thing, but i don’t know if it is a bad thing– just thought you should know. Obviously when i closed explorer and opened it back up, the problem was gone.

    Speaking of comments…I didn’t realize how many people read this stuff! I have gotten 95% (52) of all my hits from that one link on comment #3 since last night…
