Anonymous said...: Is there a EE / Chris Wise filter built within this site? To all users please try and post a response to one of his projects, I don't mean be 'mean', just be responsibly critical if you so feel. I have tried on three occasions and they don't appear to get published.

I may also reject any comments which are libellous, abusive or otherwise inappropriate, but I haven't had any of those yet! It may be there's a problem with the anti-spam features making it hard to post some comments - if you do have problems, again, please email me.; July 9, 2009 at 11:35 AM
