This mathowie dude violated the 1 post/24 hour limit

November 14, 2001 4:37 AM

I don't know who this "mathowie" character is, but he appears to have found a way to get past the one-post-every-24-hours limitation, posting two front-page threads within an hour of each other- probably with some super-sophisticated hack or something. Someone better close this loophole before other people start exploiting it!

No privilege, no. Just the usual hard work. Instead of editing out an objectionable reference in someone else's post he actually went to the trouble of rewriting it and then reposted it. Which one is it, though? And which one is truly Matt's? Ah ha!

Clue: has Matt suddenly discovered a passion in his soul for domestic politics? :)

Nah, he's been a bleeding heart liberal for a long time...

You know, I might be reconsidering that comment...

This thread is another example of a good reason not to post at 4:37 PST in the morning. It's either too late to be up or too early to think.

hmmm, his user number is pretty low, maybe there is a cabal after all.
