I posted a comment on the wordpress subscription announcement entry and after ten days my post still says "Your comment is awaiting moderation." Add that to the list of pita aspects of wordpress. Following is my original post; I'd sure appreciate it if someone who knows how this 'system' is supposed to work could help me get disentagled from it.

What an intro to wordpress.
I wanted to make a comment on a wordpress blog. To do so I had to use a real email address so I did. In order for my comment on that blog to be approved, I had to confirm a subscription to that blog so I did. The comment went up on the blog. Fine. Now I want to unsubscribe to the blog; I only needed to make the one comment. I cannot, or if there is a way, god show me how. There is certainly nothing on the blog I subscribed to about unsubscribing. The email that invited me to create the subscription says I can manage my subscriptions via the wordpress Manage Subscriptions page. But I can’t use that till I join wordpress. So I do. And it says I have no subscriptions, even though I use the same email address for the initial blog subscription, and joining wordpress.
I am glad if all of you find this terrific, but to me it’s the stupidest experience of it’s kind I’ve been through. Normally to comment on a blog, if you have to confirm your validity as a sender by supplying and confirming via email, there is a plain jane ‘unsubscribe me’ link. The wordpress system is approx a nightmare.
