Talk about strange bias! In reviewing the medical topics, I came across this post yesterday. Thinking it under-discussed, and under-documented, and since it was in my sub-specialty professional field, I spent three hours putting together a well-documented commentary, hoping to generate more discussion. I'm new to blogs; a participant only since I retired. Who knew there was such a thing as *too much documentation*? Since I learned only recently how to make a hyperlink in a comment, I painstakingly constructed a link to references for each point discussed, as evidence-based writing is want to do. Well, apparently the TypePad software counts the number of hyperlinks in a comment, and if beyond some unmentioned number, screens out the comment as spam. My 3 hours of work is gone, and I have no copy. I can't even re-post it in my own blog. What's an old sex specialist to do?
