Comments published

I don't get a lot of traffic, so I've never had to pay much attention to how comments are handled on Blogger. For some reason (perhaps a change at Blogger?) I was notified today that I had some comments awaiting approval for publication. I gather I have a flag turned on somewhere that tells Blogger to hold all comments until I've had a chance to check them out. When I took a look, it turned out I had a handful of comments dating back to 2009. About half of them were spam or written in languages I don't speak, so I've deleted them. I approved the rest for publication. My apologies to those that made them for being so slow about releasing them. I'll try to pay more attention in the future.
