I tried to post some comments to a local weblogger’s site this AM and my comment was rejected:
Apparently MT-Blacklist is blocking spam words like “I” and “he.”
Comments broken by questionable content:
Update: Ted told me this is a problem with MT-Blacklist. I won’t have time to resesarch it until tonight.

I was not aware that this blog had a filter for comment content so I am surprised. Ted is busy preparing for an upcoming conference and neither one of us knows what is wrong.
So in the meantime, two options for feedback are:
1) write it up and post it with a link (create a blog at blogger.com)
2) write it up and send an email to harrowme AT yahoo.comSorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks to those who have let me know it was broken and sent comments by email.
Thanks for understanding.
Why does anyone use MT anymore, besides inertia? If it’s not plagued with spam (still an issue in the payware releases, I hear), its performance issues are enough to make high-profile sites (
3341)migrate away. Do they — the cuddly bunch at 6A — care at all?
Bah. It’s hard to take them seriously, given how the end-users have fared post investment.
