Would my stuff be labelled as spam because I complained about the layer adverts which mucked around with my browsers?

Is the BLOG down? The server does not answer.
Server is alive. Ping goes through.

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

I am still being caught by the spam filter, no matter what I post and which email address I use.

And Phil has said, repeatedly, that there seems to be nothing he can do about that. He's also said that, without the spam filter, he'd be spending far more time than he can really spare weeding out spam by hand. I understand that it's frustrating to you that your comments are constantly caught up in it. He, however, doesn't know how to help you. No one else has seemed to know how to help you. What, exactly, do you expect to happen here?

ETA: This was my 10,000th post? Oh, well . . . .

Have you tried giving it as "Nobody@nowhere.com"? That is what I do, as I do not have an E-mail address.

I wondered if WordPress had some kind of support techs, with whom a log could be raised and they could investigate for Phil

Phil knows you're having the problem. You don't have to tell him--and us--every time it happens.

I thought we were supposed to mention this, so he knows to go in and unflag them
