Just tried to post and received a message that I am not able to post as my IP address has been identified as one who has posted spam.

Possible someone hit something by mistake

Please try to post again and see if it works now for you.

You might want to run virus

You might want to run virus and spyware checks on your computer in case someone is using your computer as a proxy to forward spam.

Fixed?

I logged out and then back in again and it worked fine. I typically post from work and my laptop is behind a firewall so running spybot and adaware usually comes up with nothing. Perhaps I was just logged on too long.

Testing

Ran Spybot and Adaware just for the heck of it and they found nothing. Virus scan runs every morning at start-up and I have never gotten a notice that anything was detected

I seem to get the following message only when I try to "preview comment" before posting:

Your IP address (66.88.120.138) was recently used to post spam to this website. For this reason, you are currently not allowed to post new content. If you believe this is in error, please contact the site administrator.

If I just hit the "post comment" button, it seems to work fine.
