Very delayed review and approval of comments

Today I only just found on the settings menu that comments had to be moderated, and that I had 22 outstanding comments that hadn't been processed... going back some four years.
Including some questions and people I would have wanted to respond to or follow.

So embarrassing...

Sorry about that people (those who submitted comments).

(all fixed up now - the backlog has been cleared and notifications will be emailed to me now)
