Do your comments disappear

There seems to be a host problems with comments at the moment on Blogger. Our friend, reader and prolific commenter Philocalist has told me that recently when he has commented, his comments appear for a moment, and then disappear forever. (And I don't even get them in the email, which happens if the spam filter is responsible.)

Anything like that happening to you?

Good point, dang.     :-)
Not the least because his/her comment actually *did* disappear from the page, albeit I did get it in the email, which doesn't always happen.

I wonder if it may change it if you are not signed in as you comment? (Or vice versa.)

But one may email me if comments *always* disappear. There's a contact page on stobblehouse.com.

I wonder what will happen THIS time? Last time I posted (the original comment) it DID show both immediately AND a few minutes later, re-accessing the post via the main blog site.
I'm NOT signed in.

Did that wave of disappearing posts coincide with you disabling Captchas, by any chance? Could be a case of over-zealous (read broken) spam filtering...

No, I don't think it did.

Looking now, there's certainly more spam since then, but I found only about two false positives in the past several days.
