[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81074](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81074) Something wrong with this one. No OP at all, and I got bizarre messages about SQL or php or something when I tried to reply to it. ---

OK it works now, and also seems to have double-posted. I swear I refreshed three times and it didn’t work, though. Maybe the board just doesn’t like me. ---

I didn’t see the OP in this thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81071](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81071) and Tripler seems to have had the same problem in this one: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81076](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81076) Reloading the page got me the OP, but I didn’t try to post to the thread. ---

I dunno, **wring**. We’ve been calling you that for some time now and you don’t seem to have noticed. 😃 ---
