About SPAM and DISAPPEARING COMMENTS and SORRY, SUSANLYNN!
You may or may not know that our blog is attacked daily by frenzied legions of spammers. These days most of them are witch doctors, but in the old days they were peddling limousine services and air conditioners. I have turned on comment moderation after a week, and am now deleting most of the spam by hand...
... but I just discovered that blogger has, in its own attempt to ease my burden, been classifying zillions of spam comments - but also plenty of legitimate ones - as spam...
... for instance, I just found a folder on the site called SPAM and in it were about 1,500 comments dating back a couple of years and a lot of them were from (sob) Susanlynn who is one of our longest-contributing and devoted fans...
... so, if you find that your legitimate comments are not appearing (ie you are not a witch doctor or an air conditioning salesman) write to me at caray@mappamundi.com and let me know.

I appreciate all you do to keep things running smoothly. The job of wading through spam is a big one. I know I'm not the only one who thanks you.
Yes Susanlynn also had the same problem but I think that it got resolved after a computer upgrade on her part. In my case however, nothing had been changed in any way and so I couldn't figure out---why me?
Anyway I thank you for all of the effort that you have been putting into solving this problem. Looks like things will once again be happy out in novela blog land.

Yesterday and it went through cause I did all that"prove your not a robot" stuff, verified it, and it worked I pushed publish, and bam there it goes. 2 or 3 minutes later it's gone. Did I say something she didn't like? No, it was the dam spam!!!!! Good. Morning, and thank you again letting us no. Dam spam:-[
Right now I've been unable to reach the Lazarus web site, but here is a link that will take you to the download site for Mozilla-based browsers like Firefox and Pale Moon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/. The link for the Chrome add-on is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lazarus-form-recovery/loljledaigphbcpfhfmgopdkppkifgno. I hope some people find this helpful.
You do such a great job and this site is a real staple in many of our lives--it's a darn shame that the spam trolls attack it! Just my two cents' worth of support and commiseration for you.....
