Ever since I put in the spammer-block on my mt-comments script file, I’ve had a drop-off in comments, and am beginning to wonder if it doesn’t have anything to do with the script. I have been getting comments, and all experiments with various people I’ve asked to post comments have been successful. However, one person who has my email address has noted that he had a problem commenting here from Firefox–though I tested the browser on my PC and was able to get through myself. Anyone else who can’t get a comment through can’t reach me, so I’d be unable to hear about problems like that.

The easy way would be to have an active email address for this site posted, but spammers would get it and drown me in spam (I tested that before). So here’s what I’d like to try:

I will post a comment myself to this entry. I will use a new, unique email address that I can throw away later if it get spammed. It should be protected by the spam block feature in the link (this will be a good test of that as well).

If you have tried commenting to this site before and were blocked, then get the email address from the first comment to this post and send me an email letting me know if there’s a problem.

Thanks for your help!
