You're inclusion of a link flagged you as spam. And my email client apparently flagged Wordpress' attempt to tell me about your comment as spam, etc. etc. I'm sure there's a good parallel between reducing comment freedom to combat spam and reducing freedom to combat terrorism. In the end, your honest comment was defeated by the security measures designed to protect you. Now that I've disabled trackbacks, the main source of my spam problem because it allows bypassing the 'you have to sign up' rule, I think I'll turn off the spam filtering. So hopefully it won't happen again. ;-) Yes, sorry about that. You’re inclusion of a link flagged you as spam.

Beautiful <i>trompe l'oeil</i> ! Thanks for pointing to my gondola pictures, but I need to emphasize that they are a blatant rip-off, and for the real picture (so to speak) your readers owe it to themselves to go the source: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/y8wpgu" title="By Michael Hughes" rel="nofollow">'Souvenirs' photoset</a> at Flickr. Great fun from all over the world. And finally, I gave up on the whole 'website' vs 'blog' thing a long time ago. My bride relented.
