Well, the way it happens is...uh...no idea. Lucky I guess. I saw the note on identi.ca first. Although order of operations is important, too: post first, download second.

that was weird, i tried to post this 20 minutes ago. but, something happened to my connection. everything got real slow, and webpages would only render as text. odd.

anyway... i saw this mixed post error happen quite a few times, jon. i think it happens when two people try and post at the same time. when it happens to me there is nothing to do but copy the text hit the back button and repost.

NYBill,

I think you'll find that when Jon detects a new episode, his actions are *actually*:

1. Launch DoS attack against others who may be wanting to post "Yay! First!" on the forums
2. Post "Yay! First!"
3. Download episode
4. Stop DoS attack

This explains why, when you first tried to post, "everything got real slow, and webpages would only render as text". It wasn't anything you or your ISP did wrong, it was all due to Jon's evil strategy. Damn you, Jon!!!!
