Yes, your comments do come to me for approval, mainly so that I can delete spam and inappropriate material (we’re G-Rated). Any I approve, though, I edit in one respect: I delete your email and website addresses. That’s for the privacy of those of you who don’t want to receive spam just because you commented on my blog. It’s also so I don’t unwittingly pass on any questionable websites.
So, feel free to comment and know that I’m protecting your privacy (and some of your sanity).
Thanks Jackie — this is truly appreciated, I get way too many from the various political candidates and their groups! I’d love to find a way to screen them better!
I wish those politicians would understand that they’re wasting their money on a lot of us. I know I’m not alone in automatically deleting their emails, hanging up on their recorded messages, and tossing their literature, unread, of course. I don’t care what they or their campaign people SAY about what a great person he is and how he’ll do a fantastic job. I want to be SHOWN, through their records and what they’ve said and done…what their lives and work say that they stand for. [Ouch! My soapbox just gave me a big splinter!]
