This is an unusual post, but I feel I owe some of you an apology. Years ago, I enabled comment moderation due to excessive spam (ads, sex-bots etc.) and low-brow comments like one insisting, "These results are wrong! Sudanese people can’t have more Eurasian ancestry than Habeshas," without any explanation...
As a result, I didn't notice some comments under my latest post from January until today and have dozens of older ones backed up. Since Blogger doesn’t send notifications, I simply missed them. It bothers me that thoughtful, inquisitive, and respectful comments—or ones where I might disagree with the author's respectfully shared opinion—got lost in this process.
So, moving forward, comments will no longer be moderated before appearing. I'll just check in every few weeks or months to remove obvious spam, offensive content (e.g., threats, racial slurs, excessive insults), or anything too low-brow—though I might leave some for entertainment value.
Apologies to anyone whose comments I missed, both recently and in the past.
