*pokes metafilter with stick* Is it dead? I can't seem to post anything. Did I miss a memo?

I was worried it was a punishment specifically for me!

STOP ENDLESSLY REFRESHING YOUR ASK QUESTION, JULIET. AIN'T NOBODY POSTED AN ANSWER SINCE FIVE MINUTES AGO. THERE, YOU BROKE METAFILTER, ARE YOU HAPPY?

There we go! Now you all should go post answers in my Ask question.

Still dead for me.

Does seem to be having recurring problems today. Sorry about that.

It was my cockiness, I know it. (sob)

Ah, well that's reassuring.

A few hours ago I hit the Stop button right after I hit "Post", and I was sure that by ripping my post out when it was halfway into the MetaFilter machine, I had just gummed up the works something terrible, and Cortex was going to have to go in there with a flashlight and a crowbar and pry out the little mashed-up bits of post.

Posting comments seems to be DOA. Previewing comments works. But posting a comment just makes the little ball spin and spin and spin...

It works all around for me. :-/

It's working now.

Juliet - can't help you with pimping your bike, BUT I had no idea there were helmets like the Yakkays. How fun! And don't listen to Item - a basket of fruit helmet would totally rawk.

Hey, it was fine until you poked it with that stick!

I think it was the Richard Dawkins conversation.
