Blog Comments - An Apparent Cluster Fuck

Well folks, I went to the comments moderation page on my blog just a few minutes ago and found out that there were comments dating back at least several months that were still awaiting approval/publication by me. I apologize to anyone who left a comment or comments to any of my posts and then did not see them materialize in due time. I have had my blog set up so that I am supposed to receive email notifications about each and every comment that is posted. I have received some but relatively few such notifications in at least many months. I had merely thought no one found anything interesting enough to make a comment. I am happy I was wrong about that but not happy that I did not receive the proper notifications nor that it resulted in your comments not bein posted until today. I will look into that and try to get it fixed.

The only reason I looked at the comments moderation page today was because I received such a notification yesterday and went to approve it tonight; I was absolutely shocked to see page after page of comments waiting for approval. I approved them all or so I hope.
Again, my apologies to anyone whose comments were not approved in due time.

Update: Just checked all my notification settings for comments, everything was in order. I have no clue why Blogger is not sending me all of the comment notifications. It is not that they are going into my junk mail folder either as I check that every day and never see anything there from blogger. As usual, when it comes to problems with Blogger, I am stymied. I will try to think of going to comments moderation at least every few days to check to see if any comments have slipped by without me having been notified.

All the best,
Glenn B

I was wondering why my comments never got posted. I thought that it might be a problem on your end since I've never said anything controversial and I've always been respectful. I tried letting you know via email, but the address that is on your bio page didn't work either...............

Thanks for letting me know about the email address. As far as I an remember, I had changed that but I guess I am not recalling correctly so I just changed it now. Then again, maybe I already did change it and Blogger somehow reverted to the old one - Blogger is that unpredictable, I think.

By the way, no notification was sent to me for your comment this time either, just decided to check the comments awaiting moderation today and there it was!
