The slowest blog on the internets

I'm a pretty frequent commenter over at the TU Capitol Confidential blog. They have a strange way of running things over there. They hold comments, and presumably review them, before they post the comments to the blog. This results in ridiculous delays between submitting a comment and seeing it posted on the blog.

For example, there is this post about a poll in the 20th Congressional District race. The time stamp on the post is 10/16 at 7:37 pm. As of 11:15 AM on 10/17, there were no comments posted. Now, as of 11:30 AM on 10/17, there are eight comments posted. The time stamps on the comments range from 9:35 PM on the 16th to 10:20 AM today.

So, for the first commenter, that is about a 12 hour delay in seeing her comment posted.

Strange.

The TU blog: the stalled vehicle on the information superhighway.

I won't even get into how they conduct their review of comments. That's a whole 'nother topic.

I believe you're right. I find it frustrating when there is some bit of GOP troll poop as the last posted comment in a thread, and hours go by without seeing any additional comments.

(Of course, when my comments are the last one on there, it's all good. But that's another story.)
