Several of you have indicated via email that you have had trouble posting comments because of the dreaded "questionable content" thingie from MT-Blacklist (the program I use to try to screen some of the huge number of spam comments that are posted.) Usually this is because, when I do my morning "de-spam", MT-Blacklist imports onto it's "banned" list the domain of the poster. One such was mail.com. This prevented users listing their email address as anything containing that string, such as "gmail.com" or "hotmail.com" and I apologize for that. I've removed "mail.com" from the blacklist for now. A word of advice: If you find your comment being rejected, try putting in a phony email address -- it's not like it matters and will actually prevent some "spiders" from harvesting your email address for future spamming. So while you might have to put in an email address (you do) you could just put YourName@lalaland.org and usually that's enough to get you through the "security system" and all... Sorry it has to be that way but do you really want to read piles of comments about "on-line poker, penis enhancement, viagra, porno, etc"?
thanks for telling me I was soo afraid that I had been banned...Sorry to be so fragile.
I do feel for you I had to let go of a child hood pet cat of 22, and yes it was time but it didnt change the difficulty. Me My parents, who were not the emotional types cried our eyes out. Smokey had been our darling and joy for so many years and I couldnt fathom living with out her.
I wrote a post last january on this subject and I will find it (now that I have permalink on this new skin its heaven that I can do that)There was this marvelous poem about letting go of your pet that I loved. the link is
