You think it's Google?
I've been having trouble posting, too. (I click "send" but the message
doesn't go through - I don't get the "your message has been successful

I thought it was because a problem with my new Vista O.S.

I get exactly that response more often than not in the past several
days, and, to a lesser extent, for the past several weeks. I'm a
Macster, so I don't use Vista. It's either google or Comcast or Cheny/
Rove/Gonzalez, or all of the above...
