Comic Transcript
MARK: So what's the catch?
ALICE: The catch is that for the duration of this project you'll be working in an off-campus high-security facility.
MARK: That doesn't sound so bad.
ALICE: While you're working there all your activities will be monitored.
MARK: That's no different than working here, except you're admitting it up-front.
ALICE: You will be asked to provide weekly urine and monthly blood samples for analysis.
MARK: That seems... excessive, but it's still not too --
ALICE: (Interrupting) During this time you will have no access to the internet.
MARK: No Deal.

Limits...
You just have to admire Mark for knowing his own limits!

Oh NO!!!!
Now I am in BIG trouble! My previous message was marked as "potential SPAM"!
Was it because my URL was included? Perhaps that was it... But, come to think of it, your system included it... Not my fault!
If I am found guilty will I also be deprived of Internet contact for a week?
I am sorry! So, so, sorry... (That is the apology.)
I would not do anything to demean the wonderful strips created through the genius of Chris. (There is the required flattery.)
Although I didn't do anything wrong, I won't do it again, whatever it was. (There is the promise of future good intent.)
Am I off the hook yet?

Well,
That's just cruel.
False Positive
I have no idea why Drupal flagged you as spam. It did that to another commenter a few days ago.
Keep in mind that this is mostly an automated system. While it's possible for people to flag someone as spam, it very rarely happens and it goes into an entirely different queue than the "regular" spam queue so it's easy to tell when it happened. In this case you were not tagged as spam by another reader, it was the Drupal spam filter that got you.
Every day I go through the spam collector to look for the false positives. Usually there aren't any, but lately I think it may have started assigning too high a score to posts made from account holders, I may need to tinker with that.
Figured it out...
... apparently the Bayesian Filter that Drupal is using added "org.uk" to it's list of spam domains. I have no idea why, but I've removed it.
UK Spam
It's because of all the high-class British... well you know... and the online degrees available from Oxford.
Was that my post of 4 or 5 days ago?
Re "It did that to another commenter a few days ago":
I seem to remember having a dickens of a time attempting to post something with the subject "Astoundingly bad law". Somehow it appeared to throw me back into editing/preview mode whenever I clicked on "Post comment"...
Yep. That was you.
And I almost missed it because that day there were about fifty posts for websites promising your basic male additive treatments, both in pump and topical creme form, but I recognized your account name on the list and went "waaaaaitaminute" so I was able to recover it...
NO DEAL!
I wouldn't agree to that either..
Well, that was fun.. I just spent a good hour or two going through and transcripting a load of Ubersoft comics.
No deal here either
Can't function without my Internet fix :D
