Please watch the itchy trigger finger
I'm guessing that posting a comment is taking a particularly long time today. One newbie just now posted her comment 11 times, a new record. I feel your pain; it takes forever to publish them, too. But please, try to restrain yourself and only post once. It will happen.
The problem is that when you keep trying to post, they all do show up eventually. Then I have to kill them out, a minor but tedious process, or sometimes I publish them twice by mistake.
I usually go read a couple of chapters of War and Peace, and then, voila! The comments are published. I'm sure that will work for posting comments as well. ...
Also, I just checked my "unpublished comments" link, and there were six of them, three of which weren't duplicates, from a few days ago. Either they got buried in duplicates and I missed them, or our crack blogware stored them for awhile and then popped them back out.

Ah, technology, a wonderful thing.

I, too, love technology. When it works.

Yup, there's nothing like a computer when it works...or when it doesn't.

"our crack blogware stored them for awhile and then popped them back out"
Or maybe the Sun offered them a buy out...

I have one word for computer complainers: White Out.

There are three kinds of people in this world. Those who can count and those who can't.

jl that was four words, or two words twice. are you on vacation now? maybe partaking in some sweet beveridge? tell me it's bourbon. :)
i was guilty today of hitting send on two different occasions, but only because i lost my connection just when i hit send and it didn't seem to take before i got disconnected.
but 11 times?? newbie or not, that sounds like a poster who has MAJOR ISSUES.

I sure hope it wasn't Springs1 that has the itchy trigger finger.

Can you imagine getting 11 copies of one of Spring1's diatribes?

You mean we haven't gotten 11 of them? Think if we had to pay by the column inch.
