OK, I got one! Ryan, explain this one: right now in my inbox I have a comment from InveterateLearner about my Sikorsky S-76 letterbox, and I am not given the option to approve it before it's visible to the masses. I am only given the option to delete it. And I did go back and double-check my preferences, and I am set for "moderate all comments".

Mind you, I have no intention of deleting this comment. It's very complimentary. But I want Ryan to see that I'm not nuts, there are some comments coming through with a "Delete" option rather than an "Approve" option.

You aren't listed as the owner. In fact, nobody is listed as the owner, so the default action is to post the comment.

Ah, that explains it! Thanks!

Does that mean I couldn't delete the comment either? Unless, of course, I "adopted" it, deleted the comment, and then put it back up for adoption?

Isn't it also true that the finder has the option to allow or not allow the owner to make their comment public. If they do not allow it, you will not get the option to make it public.
Right or wrong?
