  Search engines are a good place to find stuff.

  Question
  What does it mean when Your comment is awaiting moderation? … how long does it usually take?
  Answer
  It means it’s been put in a queue for a moderator (i.e. a person who checks the comments) to read it and check it’s fit to publish. Like anything with a human element, it varies: a few hours is reasonable.
