Bad Blog
In the latest BA Blog, there is the following paragraph (referring to 2003 UB313)...
"Realistically, it’s still kinda dinky though. A good guess to its size is 2700 kilometers across, which is only marginally bigger than our own Moon. So we’re not talking even Mercury-size, here, and Mercury is the smallest planet no one argues about. " Our moon isn't quite that small, it's around 3,400km in diameter.  with regards

I got an email about that a few days ago, and corrected it. For some reason, I took the Moon's radius (1734 km) and doubled it to get 2468 km in my head. Duh.

I cannot seem to fix this. I have no clue what is causing it. I will try to look into it further this weekend. Sorry about that.

If you're willing, paste the regex, we'll (I'll
) take a look.

I have found out what causes this error in general, but the specific problem -- where it is in the files -- is eluding me. It's in my spam filter software, so I upgraded to the latest version. I also blacklisted Danigirl and Irish for now (though I hate to do that, but theirs are the comments always causing the grief!).
If it happens again, please post in this thread, and let me know: 1) The exact error message 2) When you got the error (date and time) 3) What blog post you were commenting on That way I can try to trace the problem more accurately. Thanks, and sorry about this.

Your comment is on the blog! So it worked, it seems, even if you got the error. I have looked up the usual causes of this, but cannot find any of them in the code! I'll have to post about it, I suppose, on the wordpress forum.

BTW what is a Blacklist control panel?
Is that used for banning IP addresses?

Yes, to make sure some people or IPs cannot post. The spam filter has a ton of options. I fiddled with it just now, so we'll see if it helps. I removed Danigirl and worm from the blacklist.

I removed worm from the blacklist now. I think it's just that blacklist causing the error, when I put in specific entries to search for. I think I have deleted all of them, so now let's see if the error still happens.
Bythe way, oddly, I never get that error.
