When I started this blog way back in 2005, I allowed comments to be displayed without my authorisation; after only a few blogs, I noticed that I was getting spammed so I stopped that. For a while, comments used to be sent to my email where I could choose to publish or delete them.
I haven't received such emails for a long time, so to be honest, I had completely forgotten about them. Maybe no one reads these blogs and so no one comments. Today I idly went to the web page that manages these blogs and clicked on the 'comments' link: to my surprise, I found about 50 comments waiting for my authorisation.
Some of them were clearly spam - the same topic appeared again and again, promoting some spy thriller - but most of them were interesting. So I deleted obvious spams and authorised the rest. Some of these reference blogs that I wrote over ten years ago whereas some reference more recent blogs.
From now on, I'll try to remember to check the comments waiting for authorisation at least once a week. And now I know that at least someone is reading.
