Two different comments posted ten minutes apart and this is what I get...

You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.

Anonymous my a$$! :)
;-D Really?! Had no idea it would do that. I know we've had some issues with trying to get the balance for how the site refreshes and being able to have it not be too slow so might be a conflict there.

...social indexing...

It's all a conspiracy, I tell ya. ;)

Hmmm... I should have figured the IRS was involved somehow. By the way, I'm come to really appreciate all Barack Obama has done to move the country forward for the betterment of all the people in 6 short years. Too bad he can't run for a 3rd term. :)

It's Brian and Jordan you have to lie to butter up, not me. I'm just one of the moderators of comments to the site. :smile2:

I wasn’t trying to butter you up, that was for the benefit to the direct feed into the IRS, NSA and it’s White House handlers. "Social Experiment"... good one! ;)

(But I can always count on you to pull a Pontius Pilate whenever it’s convenient. :))

I think I've just been insulted but your paranoia is showing. Brian is the one to credit (or discredit depending on your POV) for coming up with the "social experiment" idea. Now I know what it was about the term that had me twitching a little--couldn't put my finger on it before. Probably should have been "social media experience" as that's what it's about--getting people to talk about it on that site, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

I was just having a bit of fun with how the “Anonymous” aspect is played up, yet the site somehow knows I posted a comment earlier.

Seriously though, I was wondering how the information was going to be utilized (no paranoia), especially when looking for additional comments after Revival is released.

My understanding is it will stay as is--we're not planning to use the comments posted now for any other part of the project. If someone has a new thought to add after reading Revival, it will be an entirely new post, not connected to the old one.

As far as my moderating involvement, I have no idea who is posting what or from where it's coming from. None. And I personally have no way to track any of that information.

I realize that. It probably has something to do with IP address checks in the software. Was just having a bit of fun with the glitch I experienced. Didn't mean to ruffle feathers. Kinda sorry I participated in it now.

NO way! I'm glad you participated and only wish more people here on the board would. Stephen sets up this place for us all to play, and yet hardly anyone wants to give back when asked. I get disappointed.

I was just reassuring you and anyone else that we honestly don't know who is saying what. Please, continue to engage in the social MEDIA experiment, especially once you read the book!
