Who is Akismet??? He is that nut from the Amoco Station, right??

Yes, I was locked up all night at Michelle’s blog. All I had to eat was vintage sammies.

I wonder what happened to it. I was frequently into the comments that day because many of the commenters were new posters, so I had to get them out of moderation.

The local news station, and by the sounds of it other media outlets as well, are giving it very poor coverage. They say thrift stores are exempt, but as you mentioned, they really aren’t. They are still liable if they sell stuff that ends up having lead in it, so who wants to take that risk?

I posted on your first one right after it happened because that same day I went to the thrift store and they had a 50% off all toys and a big notice saying they would not take toys or childrens items anymore. I can’t remember every thing I said- this would have happened on Friday because I know it was the day before I spent all day at wrestling with Eli.

So- My comment would have been on the 9th- anyway I commented about the stupid clarifications Congress ran online the 8th and how they vaguely exempt resellers and in particular thrift stores and yet in the same breath say but it’s still illegal. I still haven;’t found out if the other thrifts are caving into this nonsense.

I gotta run.

I didn’t delete it. I’m not showing anything in moderation, nor did I get an eMail notification.

I just checked Akismet, and there’s no comment from you in there either.

I have been noticing comments getting stuck in moderation or Akismet, sometimes for no apparent reason, but I haven’t seen any comments from you in there.

I wonder what genetically-enhanced chicken might taste like? Steak? LOL!

Thanks!

I am just curious what happened to my long albeit serious comment about the lead?

Did you delete it or did askimet pounce on it. I have been noticing that long comments on my blog have been getting sucked into spam and or moderation- it happened to Eric one night on my blog.
