Joseph:

Didn't see your comments until now. Yes, the spam filter on this blog doesn't work very well - my own comments sometimes get rejected. It's a flaw in the blogging software this blog uses.

As for Notes, you are confusing the standalone Notes feature in Simpy, which are private, with short notes one can save with each bookmark (bookmarks can be either private or public).

I hope this answers all your questions.

Otis,

We seem to have passed each other en route - having found your user group, I posted my query there, thinking that was a more suitable place than your blog for such things. The url I submitted with this comment will take on to the yahoogroup post I just sent.

Your last comment answers question 2, obviously - those short notes will remain publicly visible if the bookmarks are - but please refresh my memory. How does this answer question one, which was about what constituted spam in a simpy note?

Specifically, if I did what I described doing - writing critical comments about the arguments used in an essay I linked to - would that be considered spam under Simpy's definition?

Yes or no?



Leaving us with a third question - why is it like pulling teeth to get Otis to give a straightforward answer to a simple question? "Otis, may I do this - yes or no?"

Why the mystery?
