Comment Moderation, Problems On This Blog

I was out of town and off-line for a few days, so I turned off the comment moderation function as a service to readers. Big mistake, as spammers got comments posted.

I have deleted these, and have turned the moderation function back on. Not much choice.

In that process I inadvertently deleted a comment this morning from someone posting as Dan Collins. I have copied it out and posted it where it was intended - - in the "LA Times..." posting: You are free if you would like to resend it.

Over and out.
