If so, would be global. I can't imagine double posting being particularly critical to the spamzone though.

Been waiting ages for that sh1t. And huzzah for double-post merging, that happens to me much too often at the library.

The double posting thing as a plus side too. You don't need to edit posts anymore (so as not to double post). You can just type in the fast reply box again & the 2 merges. Somewhat less of a job.

	Jonathan Stroud 1. Queezle - Her name doesn't come from anywhere, I don't think. I just made it up! It was kind of meant to make her sound nice. I feel a bit sorry that I killed her off so fast; she is an interesting character. Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.

Click on the link at the very bottom of the page, on the right. You will notified via PM or Email. Should be useful for tracking any questions you ask Jonathan. On any page where there were two google ads there is now one.
