yes, i know it's annoying that d.o keeps dying during issue followups (500s, squid errors, etc). we're looking into it. meanwhile, y'all should know: YOUR FOLLOW-UP WAS POSTED THE FIRST TIME ... ;) you don't have to keep reloading and pressing "submit" over and over again. that just produces duplicate follow-ups, and makes issues harder to read. if you get an error, just navigate yourself back to the issue's page and you'll see your reply is there. thanks, -derek
