As I said a month or two ago, I finally changed the Comment setting so that no one could comment without my approving it. My one and only goal was to stop comments from anyone who didn't identify him- or herself.
Yesterday, I published a post I had written two months ago, and forgotten to publish then. Today, a reader wrote to me to say s/he had posted a comment. No comment was there, and blogspot never sent me the comment to preview. I checked Spam, and there was nothing from blogspot there either. The reader was someone I trust completely and know well.
So the system that allows me to block comments from "Anonymous" isn't working. Therefore, I changed it back to the old system, where anyone can comment without my approval, and I'll just delete any comments from "Anonymous."
The fact is that I never received any comments to preview after I made the change, and I apparently mistakenly thought that was because no one had anything to add. Well, someone said s/he did, and my goal is to stimulate conversation, not prevent it.
