 * I had to disable wp-gatekeeper. It appears to be stopping pingbacks and trackbacks
   from showing. And in spite of carefully worded questions that do not reveal the
   answer, spambots (or pathetic humans who are being paid to fill in the captcha)
   are managing to get past the gate.

 * I just upgraded to wp2.9.1 and re-enabled wp-gatekeeper. There were WAY too many
   spam comments that slipped through. I guess I’d rather have the gatekeeper stopping
   most of the comment spam than be able to see pingbacks and trackbacks.
 * If anyone is actually working on wp-gatekeeper, I look forward to a response.
