Comment Policy

I've never gotten around to spelling out my comment/trackback policy, so here it is:

I reserve the right to delete or modify a comment for any reason. The only reason that I've exercised this option so far has been to delete comment spam. That is likely to continue.

I have recently deleted all trackbacks due to a flood of trackback spam (it was easier to delete all of them than sort through them to find the 3 or so legitimate trackbacks which have been made on this site during its lifetime). In the future, I anticipate only needing to delete trackback spam.

In order to keep comment spam down to manageble levels, I close comments after about three weeks. So basically, if you want to comment on a post, you have about until it scrolls off the front page. I had been leaving trackbacks open indefinitely, but that has recently been getting lots of spam too, so I'm now closing them after three weeks as well.
