At just about the time that happened, Metafilter had a big ole hiccup (couldn't connect to it or ping it). Presumably you got that message either just after some processes died but before the whole server went down, or just after some processes came back up, but before all the necessary processes came up. Just a guess.

Of course, if you're still getting that error, there's a different issue.

Yeah I was getting the error up until the most recent restart of the MeFi server. (at about 7:45 pm.) In fact, I might've caused the most recent hiccough by just blithely hitting post again on the window that had the error.

Perhaps if you stopped spelling it "Ax me" it might work.

The server has been somewhat sketchy all day, but should be ok now.
