@GershKuntzman Your comment was marked as spam by our website, not by anyone in particular. It has been restored. You commented on an editorial, not a "story." You "hate cars," we get it. The majority of our readership doesn't agree with you.

I tried to post a comment on a story on metered parking in @TheRockawayWave that quotes me, but was denied as "a spam." You tell me!
