Apologies to those who have submitted comments

Just wanted to send a quick note to apologise to folks who have kindly submitted comments to many of the posts. In order to avoid spam posts from robots, the settings on this blog require me to mediate and approve the message before it appears on the site. I used to get an email notification when a comment was submitted but that service seemed to have stopped and didn't realise that many loyal readers had taken time to comment. I'll be going through and doing my best to respond over the next little while.

Thank you for still reading!
