43Folders.com is Merlin Mann’s website about finding the time and attention to do your best creative work.

Adjusting or replacing the spam filter?

No idea how much spam gets caught here on a daily basis, but I've had two of my replies get eaten by moderation, never to resurface. Probably had too many links in them, but they were relevant links included in fairly long replies.

Is the solution posted here better than what's currently in place?

Or, on a related note, does anyone go through the moderated replies list?

I think I figured it out...

The problem seems to be that you get held for moderation if you "Preview" your post, change something, and then don't "Preview" it again before posting it.

I guess the system wants to make sure that the final version that ends up on the Web gets reviewed by someone, so if you don't want it passed to a moderator you have to preview the edited text yourself.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
