Spam filter woes

Some of you have tried to post comments multiple times. Today I discovered that Typepad's spam filter has recently become HAL. It is randomly—in my mind—choosing some comments to relegate to the spam box. I've published all the non-spam comments, even from a certain troll. I apologize for the glitch, and I'll see if I can talk HAL into ceding his newfound authority.

Slacktivist has had the same problem--Typepad "upgraded" their spam filter recently to be a gigantic pain in the ass.

Also, it looks like Larry's comment hasn't published yet, though there will probably be a time lag between approval and publishing. What a mess. This change has middle management written all over it; no developer could implement this and sleep at night unless s/he were forced to from above.
