FYI, if you send us a trackback we won’t know for a while, at least. There is some quirky thing going on where we can’t get into our own comments and trackbacks sections right now. We can only see them on posts done earlier.
If you’re commenting on a post, I can probably see your comment since I receive email notification. But I may not be able to answer or respond to any comments in our comment sections for a while — and I won’t know who sends trackbacks until this is fixed.
