Administrative message

In order to cut down on spam and trolling, I have implemented Comment Throttling.* The delay is 20 seconds. If you get a message, count (slowly!) to twenty and try your post again.

Update: Okay, I guess enough of you have understood the message so I can close the comments now. Also, that gives me the last word! Bwahahahaha!

*Don't you just love that name?

Doggoneit, I went across the dateline once. It was
on my way to 'nam, but can I remember that it's
there? No, that's to simple. Sheesh.

But I run out of fingers after 10, if I undo my zip I can get to eleven but then I get thrown out of the internet cafe.

How exactly does one throttle a comment?

Twenty seconds? I have to take off my shoes to count that high.

I didn't understand any of that, but I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Scott: How do you count to 21?

Geez, what is it with this post and really lame jokes?

Posted by: Andrea Harris at July 5, 2004 at 05:16 AM

You can count to 15 with 4 fingers. I recommend grey code 0000 0001 0011 0010 0110 0111 0101 0100 1100 1101 1111 1110 1010 1011 1001 1000 since only one finger moves at a time. By the time you figure it out, several minutes will have elapsed.
