I can't seem to post a reply on MetaFilter this morning. Every time I hit Post it treats me like I hit Preview ...
yep, looks like that last set of changes did it. *sigh*

heh. It's a feature, not a bug. We've reached the daily comment maximum. :-)

Apparently we've been filtered out. We were rude and sarcastic and now Matt has locked us out.
I'll be nice! I promise! Please please let me post again! Plllleeeaasse!

So THIS is what the underside of the shitlist looks like. :-)
Man it stinks over here. Oh wait, that's just me.

Well, serves you right with all your right-wing fascism propoganda! Heh. Btw, I should have known to check in earlier.

Awwww-man, Matt's gonna be pissed when he sees this mess.
On the other hand, we could set up a shadow MeFi here for the next few hours ('specially since everyone I want to talk to is here anyways). So..... uh, how about that Ashcroft guy?
<ducks>

On that book link - 'As a rich white kid going to prep school I have to say I'm hurt. I'm hurt right here. I think I'll go and cry quietly over at the west wing of the mansion'

Man, I was going to say I was glad I wasn't the only one, but now that I see who else has run into this problem. . .

I bet Matt implemented a newbie filter:
You can only post during the first seven days after you register.
So as to make the comments a bit more fresh.

<looking at spork, hoping that it's titanium>
Steven, I couldn't find the newbie filter guideline anywhere; did you cut the quote from somewhere, or is it supposition?

Wow, it's like evervyone gathered around a candle when the power goes out. I did not try and post anything, I just thought it was weird that there was not a single post since I checked this morning.
Can't believe I never got around to ordering that Titanium Spork, or the Sanrio image burning toaster. Have you people seen those? They have some coils hotter than others so that a picture forms on the side of the bread. I thought it could be modified to burn Shroud of Turan toast, and could be sold in religious catalogues and irrevernet hipster junk stores.

Hmm.. that candle comment - Maybe Matt did this on purpose, took the power out, and prepared us a candle-light dinner to bring some excitement and romance back; the romance that has been missing for so long. *sigh* We hardly even talk anymore with Bush this and Bush that. I just don't know anymore, with the kids growing up and all..

Avogadro: don't you hate it when you make yourself look silly?
Reread the "quote" Steven found. You'll get it.
(and hopefully the resultant lightbulb will shine a little brighter than this candle, I keep stubbing my toes dodging titanium sporks. :-)

I was getting worried, I thought you'd all gone off without telling me [sniff!]
I thought everyone had found [sniff] a new, cooler [sniff] place and not told me[sob!].
Or you were all behind a wall laughing at me trying to post.

oh, here's the explanation: I was playing with a javascript solution, to disable the post button after it had been clicked once (so no more double posts). To do that, I had to change the posting operation. I couldn't get the javascript to work across all browsers, so I commented out the code, but forgot to change the posting script back to its original form.
I fixed it around 9:30ish this morning. sorry.

Matt, you're permitted.
You provide us all with a great service for which we don't pay you a dime, and I at least am grateful.
