I know, I’m very paranoid and suspicious, but I just got an error message telling me that I could only post once every 60 seconds. I get that - but I didn’t post within 60 seconds before that! Could someone besides me be logged in on my account somehow? ---

Funny, I had that happen to me once today too. I searched my posts to make sure I hadn’t posted something I didn’t know about. Maybe it is just having hicups today. ---

Ok, I checked, and no one who wasn’t me posted with my name. Hiccups is as good as any explanation, I guess. ---

It can also happen if you accidentally double click the submit button. ---

Dunno what happened for you to get the flood control message, but demand has been quite heavy lately and we just needed a reset, so anything is possible. But you have nothing to worry about, in any event. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

\<\< But you have nothing to worry about, in any event. \>\> The war in Iraq, the economic stagnation, anthrax and smallpox, whether _**[NAME DELETED]**_’s hubby is cheating on her again, how to stop the dog from peeing on the carpet, whether my kid will get a job, the weather tomorrow, my 91-year-old mother, my manic-depressive sister-in-law, nuclear weapons in Korea, the existence of New Jersey… Nothing to worry about? Sigh. If only you had such power, **Tuba** , my dear. ---
