You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Right now, threadsucking's the only way.

yup, I've resigned myself to it. It's not that bad, and it's fun to read the old posts :)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I assume someone ran a query to delete all the extra threads?

The only unusual thing about my thread creation was that I\'m going through a proxy server because my employer blocks b.org. However, I have been posting successfully with no problems (i.e. my posts haven\'t been repeated a bazillion times), so I don\'t see why my creating a new thread would be any different.

t edit I\'ve got to leave my \'puter for awhile, so I won\'t be able to answer any questions about this for a few hours.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I nuked them. I have no idea what could make that happen--the query retry itself more than 100 times.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I nuked them. I have no idea what could make that happen--the query retry itself more than 100 times.

Does the webserver see Jon's post > 100 times? Or just the one, which then got run > 100 times on the database server?

I'll grab the weblogs and have a look, but I can't right now.

I'm looking at the logfiles right now, and I see 203 posts.

I suppose i could try making another thread through the proxy server and see if it happens again?

But not now, since I'm no longer on my work computer.

If someone from the board had died recently, you know, someone who had possibly worked on the code at some point, I might suspect it was a ghost. But what are the odds of that happening?
