This was especially true of the wedding cake post you mentioned. After 50 comments or so are posted, I can't really blame y'all for not wanting to read every single one before making your own comment.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I don't have the option of selecting some comments to go through automatically; it's either all moderated or none. Maybe some day I'll be fabulously wealthy and be able to pay someone to sit and do nothing but moderate comments all day, but 'til then I'm afraid you'll all continue to be at my schedule's mercy. ;)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-78887907201532197792008-09-11T22:27:00.000-04:002008-09-11T22:27:00.000-04:00Well, I finally figured out why the comments are s...Well, I finally figured out why the comments are so repetitious. They are held up a long time for review! I came here early this morning and left a comment (using my Google/Blogger identity). I appeared to be the first commenter. I came back tonight to read the comments left by everyone else, and saw that my comment didn't show up first at all. It wasn't even close! Maybe you should drop the comment moderation for commenters who are not anonymous, at least, to speed things up.<BR/><BR/>The Tiffany-box wedding cake debacle comments suffered from the same problem...hundreds of comments about marshmallow fondant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-26362421680481156902008-09-11T17:36:00.000-04:002008-09-11T17:36:00.000-04:00Seriously, I don't know how many people are necess...Seriously, I don't know how many people are necessary to point out the your/you're mistake.
