Blogger's Proactive Censor

At least three of you (Enfant, BadTux, c) left comments in the past week which Blogger saw fit to dump in the spam bucket. Apologies. I can see how NSA might have pressured Google into whacking comments critical of NSA from overseas readers, but two of you are American citizens presumably commenting from within the US ("stateside," as old-timers used to call it). My apologies. The comments have been restored, but I doubt I will have time to answer them today; I need to spend a couple of hours applying for a Medicare supplement. Maybe tonight...
