when you neglect your blog – you end up with loads of spam and in an effort to get rid of it – you go on a massive deleting spree – which in turn means you inadvertently delete legitimate comments. My apologies. (erm Viv this is mainly directed at you – hubby’s deleted comments I can get away with by smiling sweetly and offering him a beer)
ETA (edited to add – for the uninitiated) – took me well over half an hour to delete all the spam…. we may be embracing the electronic age – but the spammers are embracing it more. Bloody gits.
