Commentz Korner | Most comments now restored

[Lots o' blogs! A rare glimpse of my Blogger dashboard]

Dear readers:

Inexplicably, the entire thread from Wednesday's Real Time Comments forum disappeared from that post last night. I did not remove them -- on purpose, anyway.

We experienced a similar problem around the time of the annual shareholder's meeting in April. Google later acknowledged a glitch, I believe.
I do not know whether that was an issue last night. In any case, I've developed a messy workaround involving Gmail to recover most of them; I'll keep looking for more.

I've reposted the ones I've found so far. They're in a very different format, which is why the restored string looks unfamiliar. I was forced to publish them in batches to get around a 4,096-character limit imposed by Google's Blogger platform.

Please post your replies in the comments section, below. To e-mail confidentially, write gannettblog[at]gmail[dot-com]; see Tipsters Anonymous Policy in the green rail, upper right.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
