In addition to containing lots of links, your comments are often very long and more importantly, are not written in plain english, which makes them very difficult to decipher. We get hundreds of SPAM comments daily which include links to irrelevant websites. In general, comments that are not relevant to the topic, and particularly comments that contain links that are not relevant to the topic are considered SPAM regardless of the intent of the author. If we cannot understand your comment (because it is not written in plain english) then we cannot assess whether or not it is SPAM. We suggest that you take the time to write concise comments in simple language and with as few links as possible. Hi Leo,

Where my sincerely inputted comments were quarantined forever or just bounced like a water off a duck's back. Is it because my true testimonies are too close to the bone and cannot be countered by the civilly contested arguments? Aren't all Jewish beliefs mattered equally? “At Galus Australis, we try to be open and accessible to our readers. Thus this is a section for readers to provide general and honest feedback”!

I am one of those unique people known as 'Gerim' (I think) I met, fell in love and married a jewish man. I converted in 1963 a year before I married. I have lived in the Jewish community all my life and although my husband and family were not particularly religious we did observe the main holydays. Why am I unique? Because I am not accepted by either of two religions; the one I left and the one I embraced. At least not accepted by any but the reform schule and community and not so much there I expect. My problem is I am a blonde, blue eyed female. For the last almost 50 years if I meet any new jewish group or individual the first comment is "but your not Jewish" I think I must give out some sort of signal which warns people of an approaching stranger! I need to sell my small flat in Caulfield North because it is getting far to expensive to live in this area as a pensioner, in fact it is getting too expensive to live in Melbourne as a pensioner. I have been looking at Frankston North as a cheaper alternative in which to retire. I have been very reluctant to leave the 'ghetto' around East st Kilda and Caulfied I have lived here all my adult life. I emigrated from England when I was 20 years of age in 1962, and settled in East St Kilda, marrying and embracing a Jewish way of life, so you can see how scary it is for a person like me to leave friends and family behind and to embark on a new adventure into the wilds of Frankston. I wonder if the Chabad community would accept me, I think not. I taught at Adass in elsternwick as an emergency teacher for about two years; retiring after thirty years of teaching; both in Australia and England, in 2009. I would love to help the community to set up a kindergarten or primary school or even to advise on home schooling (on a voluntary basis of course) I was a kindergarten teacher in London for over two years in 1998, I was in charge of a school nursery (as they are called in the uk) of 45 children ranging in ages from three to five years of age. Whether I find the courage to leave Caulfied North or not I wish all jewish families best wishes as new 'settlers' in Frankston. <em>[Eds: Hi Lancashirelass, you might consider reposting your comment under the article titled <strong>Choose Your Own Adventure: Frankston.</strong> The link is <a href="http://galusaustralis.com/2011/08/4901/choose-your-own-adventure-frankston/" rel="nofollow">here</a>]</em> I found this site by accident.

If one wishes to write an article on a specific topic, the most appropriate thing to do is to email the editors with your topic suggestion. Starting an unrelated topical discussion at the bottom of a long line of comments, on a page devoted to website feedback (as clearly indicated at the top of the page) cannot do any substantive topic of discussion justice and will detract from the feedback page.

It seems no less "general" than many other comments that remain, including one which comments on mine. Perhaps you could explain your policy more clearly? Howard Dear Galus

You have removed my comment about the Haggadah. It seems no less “general” than many other comments that remain, including one which comments on mine.

Perhaps you could explain your policy more clearly?
