The genes of dictators comes to mind (The "It's In Your Genes" Myth - 3).

I sent Brad some money last year, but I have been blocked from making any comments since I always get a message that I have already said the same thing. I guess you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you, Brad.

Larry Taylor @2:

Huh? No idea why your comments have been blocked, as you suggest. This one (obviously) went through fine. So, I'm not sure what you ran in to or why, but I haven't done anything to you from being able to post and not sure what would.

The error message you describe sounds like one that might be built into Wordpress to prevent someone from posting the same exact thing in quick succession (to avoid spammers). But I'd have to see the error message and what you were trying to post to even begin to guess.

Please feel free to drop me email with that info and I'll see if something jumps out at me as to what could be causing it.

Sorry about whatever is causing the prob (as I would be to anyone, whether they donated or not!)

P.S. for Larry - I just took a quick look back and see about a dozen comments from you (with replies from myself, Desi and others) over the past year, so I'm even more befuddled. Sounds like your browser (or you) are somehow hitting the "Submit Comment" button twice in a row quickly, somehow, resulting in the error message you describe, rather than the page refreshing with the newly written comment showing. Not sure why that is and what browser you're using that may be causing it. But that's just a guess as to the prob. The comments themselves appear to be showing up just fine!
