Blog comments rather dead for a few days

Uh… I accidentally blacklisted the string ".." on 16th March and didn't realize it until yesterday night, so any blog comments having two consecutive full stops got flagged as spam and rejected. Sorry (and thanks to Max for notifying me on this)!
I could go into a lengthy rant on how software should try to keep the user from making such mistakes, particularly as this one was added by MT-Blacklist's automatic blacklist addition… but since it would sound like trying to pass the blame, I'll just shut up and suffer. Rule number one: Never confirm without reading what you're confirming.
