...but annoying the crap out of everyone else. I wrote Johnny about this, but I understand he's busy. Anyone know why my strips post twice or how to make it stop? I swear I'm single-clicking the Submit button.

My mailbox is a cavalcade of sin and misery. What browser/computer are you using? I've never heard of this problem before. Except for when people actually hit it twice.

MSIE 5.0 on Win2000. Eye d0n7 hi7 2x eym 1337 h4x0rz!!1! Or something. Tried rebooting, logging out/back in. No luck. It's done this ever since I registered.

Maybe I should try a new account? Maybe on a different box?

Maybe there's another you somewhere in a different dimension, and he's posting the exact same thing you are at the exact same time. My advice would be to assemble an away team and find some way to transport yourself to this other dimension. Then you can hunt down the rampant you and kill it, thereby ensuring only single posts.

Unterhaltriding? That does sound uncomfortable.

"Way, to go to comrade. Sausages and sauerkraut always. WooHoo. Recess to keep better at least, which begins the native beer. But this formed swastika speedos unterhaltriding above on me."

...and then I knew BabelFish wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Damn, I think I know what happened.

Sorry, there was no way I could help it!

Oh great. Now we're stuck with the evil boorite.

What would Captain Kirk do (a.k.a. "WWCKD")?

Hmm, well if it's taken as a given that Scotty's givin' him all she's got, and that Bones is a doctor not a miracle worker, then it follows that Spock would consider it all quite interesting and Kirk would be screwing some blue chick.

I would suggest you try another machine if that's possible. I can't see it being a problem with the account, as I can't think of any reason whatsoever that my code would double post stuff only if your name's "boorite".

I want to blame Windows 2000 or your mouse, but I can't think of any actual reason why they'd be at fault. I'm sure there are a few Windows 2000 users kicking around and nobody else has reported similar problems.

I also reserve the right to blame any virus checkers you might have installed.

Remember before how I mentioned the SQL notice, and you said to keep you informed if it happened again? It did. I tried to open this particular thread in the message boards and got this:

I just hit the back button and tried it again and it worked fine.

Well, since you brought it up...

I use Windows 2000 at work. I can't post to the message boards from there except for occasionally. When I click on preview, it wipes out my message and sends me back to the "compose" screen. If I log out and attempt to log back in, it won't let me. I have tried doing the hokey-pokey and turning myself around, but I don't think that's what it's all about.

Every once in a while, after I have just assumed that it won't work, I suddenly find that it does work. I can post comics just fine (haha, shut up, Gabe)...

Little did Kirk know that 20 years later he'd screw a normal chick, THEN she'd turn blue.

That's not so evil. At least you didn't say she sank faster than Priceline stock.

Note that my strips no longer clone themselves.

(I was going to say "the ringman always posts twice," but ... Oh, I just did.)
