It has recently come to my attention that my blog comments were hosed. A plugin that I had installed decided to start acting up. Many, many apologies to those who may have commented. Sadly, I have no way of recovering your comments.

I hopefully have fixed the problem and will test again later tonight.

update: fyi, it was the banascii plugin that started acting up and not playing nice with the commenting system. If you have SpamLookup and/or Blacklist installed, you may want to disable it.
