Now, if there was a way to sue the spam-filtering programmers…..

I think Walter may have been referring to me. As most of my comments are insipid and don’t usually add much to the conversation, you might have been better off just letting them stay in the spam filter…

If it didn’t necessitate any additional time-investment this might be a strong case for a www2.overlawyered DOT com unmoderated variety website. Us members of the “VRWC” (vast right-wing conspiracy) are generally pretty tolerant of political speech – even KOS and D.U.

I’ve found the way to keep on top of it is to frequently check the spam filter so that it doesn’t get too burdensome. But then, that’s its own burden. I guess I have more free time than you!

You may laugh, but we do have one frequent commenter whose screen name looks just like a spam misspelling of a popular drug’s name. I’m afraid I probably marked several of his comments as spam before it sank in that he was a real person.

Thanks for the rundown, Walter. This is why I had to change my original username. Back when I was calling myself “FrEeViaggraMan,” my comments kept getting bumped.
