Hi, all:

I am techno-neanderthal and I received in my blog a comment as a "track back" - it looks like someone might have referenced it because there are quote with "Read more: (and then a link to the post on my blog). I read track backs are a) good - so I approved it and it is the ping-thing ... and then I unapproved it because I don't since I found out track backs can be b) bad. It did go first to spam but I read that can happen.

Hope this makes sense - is it okay to approve it? Do bad things happen? Anyone know about this stuff? I would feel really bad if I blocked a link someone wanted to make and worse if I set people up for spam - how do I tell?

Thanks to anyone who can help. LM
