Unfortunately, it's not always possible to get them up immediately. I understand the feeling of wanting to see your comment up. After all, I comment on blogs too. The reason I have an approval process is because I get a lot of weird spam, much of it with links, and I don't want to approve something that could give my computer -- or yours -- a virus or something like that.

Posted a comment. Got a message that it will appear soon. It is now an hour and no comment has appeared. Is this a case of the pot callng the kettle black? And what is this business you have stated about it taking two days for Steve to post comments so he can prepare counter-responses? Those of us who frequent this place may not be fond of the Steve's approval process, but it takes minutes to a few hours, and many of us used to complain that he never commented on the responses to his opinions. Finally, at no point do you discuss, in your own blog, the issue being raised by White or commented on by S. Heimoff, and that is the value of expertise in the making of intelligent criticism.
