 * Most peculiar. Almost from nowhere, have noticed that if anyone (including people
   registered) wants to comment on my blog ([http://www.simonwaldman.net](http://www.simonwaldman.net))
   the comment doesn’t get posted – and all that you get is the comment form back,
   but with the comment removed, if that makes sense.
 * However, if I – or a user I have set as admin – post a comment it’s fine.
 * I have checked and double checked my options – and I cant’ see what might be 
   causing it.
 * I’m sure it’s something simple I’ve overlooked..all suggestions welcome.
 * Thanks
 * Simon

 * I can’t help you but wanted to mention that I just noticed this too in the last
   week. I have no idea where to look – comments are there , but it doesnt show 
   that there are any comments. Has to be just a strange coincidence, surely there
   are no wordpress gremlins out there attacking our comments
