David,

Do you know why my OTA trackbacks don’t show up on your blog? Is it because you have to manually enter trackbacks? Or..?

Howard, I’ve not seen them in my moderation or SPAM queues… that I recall. I do try to catch ‘em all, but if they’ve come through, I’ve missed them, and I apologize. Let’s see if I can scan your front page and rectify my failure, ‘K? BTW, I just dug two that you posted out of my SPAM filter. I WILL add your blog (and email address, just in case comments get tight) to my whitelist.

As to your followup comment, no, I do not usually have to enter trackbacks manually. However, Askimet seems to think some blog addresses are SPAM addresses, and it sometimes takes some time to “retrain” it, since those it labels as SPAM that I fish out of the SPAM filter are sent to its database for consideration/re-classifying–a process that is not all that fast, I’ve found.

Until then, I’ll just have to make sure I catch any that are labeled as SPAM.

Do note, though, that just last night I commented on a blog I’ve commented on for years and my comment was SPLATTED! by that blog’s SPAM filterSPAM filtration’s an art, and sometimes good commentds/tbs are caught in the machinery. Heck, I have a pretty darned close blogbuddy I have to email from time to time when I comment/tb there, cos it’s a real crapshoot whether or not it’ll get through.

*sigh*

As I said, I’ll keep an eagle eye out for your comments/tbs for a while, until I know my SPAM filter is trained to allow your input.

Thanks for giving me the heads up! I really appreciate it!
