Blogger.com -- stinks (by Ryan O'Donnell)

Man, blogger.com screwed that last post up in at least 3 different ways! Or maybe it was my fault. Anyway, hopefully the rest of the pictures appear below...

PS: My PS from the last post also got cut off; it said, "PS: Thanks very much to Lance for the opportunity to guest blog; it was a lot of fun. Thanks also for all the comments from readers."

    Ryan,

    When "The Game" post was read by my aggregator (SharpReader) last night, it had all of the appropriate content.

    I then posted my comment to ID Rene Peralta. After viewing the web page (outside of my aggregator) to be certain that my comment was posted properly, I noticed that my comment was there, but that now only six of the pictures were visible. My aggregator kept the complete list, until this morning. So blogger.com does have a bug and it is likely in their comments software.

    Just a quick note: I thought I was the only goofball playing "guess-who" with my friends. I regularly replace "my picture" in MSN messenger with that of a famous mathematician that I admire and wait for friends to "guess the mathematician". Is this condition genetic or contagious?
