And a second test, just to make sure I still haven’t broken anything. Then we watch and wait for some data.

I’m testing a little tweak and this seems like as good a place as any to post a comment and make sure I didn’t break anything.

Greasemonkey ignore lists seem to be broken

Yes, it’s on my to-do list.

Patterico always stored this data – it just didn;t show up on the blog.

So what do the hashtags do?

It seems that our esteemed host has granted me some leeway on the comment notice, “Commenters who do not use a consistent name, and/or who use a proxy to post, are subject to banning.”

Subject to, and not compulsory.

And you had to distinguish yourself from the other Dana, and it was obvious you were another Dana.

If we had had hashtags then, you might not have used all these different variations.

Just checking in to see if I have a cool number like 007, perhaps.

Actually, you’re number is cool. It is, I think, the only hashtag that, when it is appended to TINYURL.com, actually leads to a web page:

An article in the September 27, 2008 New Zealand Herald entitled:

Sun sets as breakfast host makes surprise exit

All the others are either hexidecimal numbers that haven’t yet been reached, or web pages that are down.

Perhaps rather than removing offending comments, move the text to an invisible field, leaving “removed” and the offender’s name (and no link to elsewhere.) Counts stay the same, offender’s name and hash are left as a reminder.

No, that would fit more Jill Kelley.

(although James Bond worked for the British. Jill Kelley maybe worked for the Bahrainis.)
