    I just got a “you’ve already said that, we’re deleting your second comment” message. Wonderful! For people like me that have limited patience, it is often demonstrated by my stupid double commenting. Is this new? It seems like a great addition.

  10. Ginny, It’s a new feature that I didn’t know about until you mentioned it. I for one don’t like it, but I’m glad you do since I don’t know how to deactivate it. I would much prefer if the developers stopped adding features to the software and instead worked mainly on fixing bugs. Instead they keep adding things and inevitably introduce security flaws that must be fixed by additional time-consuming upgrades. I suppose this is the cost of “free” software.
