  Several individuals have reported they are being blocked from commenting on my blog, both in logging in as well as a message “comment cannot be posted”. I have heard of the same thing happening to other blogs and understand this is a problem with Askimet. In the spirit of a “happiness engineer” :-) , would you kindly forward this message to them?
