A comment I posted yesterday to the Evita thread appears to be lost.

Dan, I think the "Webmaster" is struggling with getting all those
blocked comments published. I had one on the Walt/Kagan
thread, and I would guess that there are up to a hundred blocked
comments waiting on the Wilkerson/Cheney thread. I hope they`ll
appear soon - but it`s a pity that that this happened, because it
also disturbs the dynamics and interactions of the discussion.

Something very odd happened yesterday with the internet, on a very large scale. Google experienced what they called "glitches", and there seemed to be really wierd stuff going on with a number of blogs. Nina's blog was affected, as were a number of the blogs she cross posts at. I experienced inexplicable glitches while doing internet searches, and now I read that Steve's blog was having trouble.

Very strange.

Webmaster,

it looks like the blocked comments actually are lost? Or you
haven`t succeeded in bringing them up yet?

Yeah, POA, the Google problems were reported here in Norway as
well.

Paul -- regrettably, i don't think your post is in the system. I just looked behind the wall at all pending, and unapproved comments - and it's just not there. very sorry about the hassle and the comments meltdown...but i think we are back in gear now. All best -- and again, sorry for the hassle,

steve

Thanks for your reply, Steve,

never mind my post: In my prescience, I actually copied it on my
hard disk two days ago, and pasted it again into the Walt/Kagan
thread yesterday :)

Worse with Dan`s comment, and probably lots of comments in
the Wilkerson/Cheney thread.

Well, as Rumsfeld infamously said: Stuff happens - and you are
not to blame in this.

" . . . I "just looked behind the wall at all pending, and unapproved comments - and it's just not there."

Find anything good?

rich -- found zilch..
