Spam I am? I do love green eggs and ham...

03/22/2021 5:46 PM

About a week ago I was trying to post something about the lumber prices, but when I made the post and hit confirm my Windows 10 'bent belly' up in a way I hadn't seen before? I wish I were looking at the screen when it abruptly shut down, but I swear I saw a word or box that was akin to the old 'blue screen of death'.

I assumed i missed something and the battery suddenly died so I didn't think twice about it and went on with my day.

When I went to look for any replies I didn't see my post?

Having saved my post in gmail as a 'draft' I tried to repost and got this message that I've been getting ever time I try to post /comment?

(You (or someone else on the same network) has done this operation too many times.

You will have to try again tomorrow.
Sorry for the inconvenience.)

I looked it up and Lyn was posting 20 times a day back in 2011. If 20 posts is the trigger, I must be a SPAM host, but how and why? What happened to my account?

I emailed globalspec to no avail.

The truly odd thing would be the content of my original email spoke of the lumber prices and what about it? Is it possible there was a trigger word or phrase I used?

Still wondering.

I remember seeing the word "glitch" in Mad magazine quite a few years ago.

It was used to describe the sound of stepping in ...

Lumberyard manger says last year the amount of lumber to construct a duplex was $29,000

Today it would be $53,000

Hi figured prices will stabilize, but when??

Not that it's supposed to be, but the story has been an official part of St. Patrick's day around here since before I was a baby.

If green eggs and/or ham is not on the menu...Green milk in the fridge is also a St. Patrick's day staple.

I haven't read the bad press... I've only read the book.

I agree!

I'd Sever my old account if it'd stop the bleeding!

Maybe it's an inside job.

You simply hit the limit for posting. There are limits in place for certain site actions. They help prevent a lot of spam from flooding the site, for example.

Hey all, I'm not on here much but I'm on the phone with my brother, JE in Chicago and he's really troubled by the problem with not being able to log into his account. HUSH asked him some questions by email and JE in Chicago answered back but no response.

Anybody have any idea on what he can do to get his old username working again?

He would like for me to add that high tolerance is beautiful but this is getting ugly.
