 * This plug-in does exactly what is says it does, and it’s exactly what I needed–
   I wanted to encourage my students to write longer replies to one another on our
   class blogs, so I set a minimum word length.
 * However, it does NOT display the custom message I set up that tells users *why*
   their comment was rejected. Any idea what might be wrong or how I could fix this??
 * Thank you.

 * For some reason, I wrote the plugin to only display the message if the “Check
   Length With JavaScript” option is selected, and by default it’s not selected.
 * As a quick fix, enable the “Check Length With JavaScript” option, and your message
   should start being displayed.
 * I’ll publish an update soon that always displays the message, and I’ll also make
   the JavaScript check on by default
