Editing the comments

If you’ve noticed that I’ve been edit­ing the com­ments late­ly, then you may also be want­i­ng to know why.
Well first off spam gets delet­ed with out hes­i­ta­tion. What is spam? Any com­ment that has links to sites that are of no inter­est to me, and not rel­e­vant to the dis­cus­sions on my site. They are sim­ple delet­ed (and the offend­ers added to my black­list).
But actu­al real com­ments for real live peo­ple, well that’s dif­fer­ent. I make a point of pub­lish­ing almost all the com­ments peo­ple post, yes even the neg­a­tive ones.
But the last few days have seen a large num­ber of com­ments post­ed, and I’ve sim­ply been mak­ing a few slight changes because I don’t want TOO many peo­ple find­ing this page, so names and oth­er such details are being altered to pro­tect my own butt.
