Site note: Comments

Due to the large number of comments on some posts, and the need to ensure comments meet publication standards (see the second and third paragraphs of our comment policy), we are, at least for the moment, moderating all comments.

That means that after you post a comment, it needs to be read and approved by the site administrator before it will be published.

It’s not our intent to cut off debate: all comments that meet our policy will be published as quickly as we can get to them, but some may be edited.
