My comment was accidentally double posted when I clicked “Post Comment,” realized that I had a broken link, stopped the page loading, edited the comment and clicked “Post” again. When I realized I had double-commented, I flagged the first comment as a double. An administrator deleted the second.

The second comment had the correct link: Terrapin

Fixed, ijoshua. Agreeing with ColdChef: email would do you here well, should similar things come up in the future.

Clearly the answer is yes, and still we do okay.
