This is the reason.

 

I believe there is a bug in the implementation, where if you have a mistake in the first attempt, every attempt after will fail if the original message doesn't get modified. 

 

I've tested that a few times and it seems to be the case. 

Call Grace Hopper!!

and you felt compelled to write something that few get.

thanks for your contribution. another example of you portraying yourself as one that is a regular joe, but, as usual, you reveal yourself as the narcissist you are. 

please go somewhere else to get the adulation you seek. perhaps mar-a-lago would suit you. make sure your lips are puckered.

Constipated again, Al?

your lame  a $ $ posts where you pretend to be so smart don't work so well with those of us that are familiar with you pretending to be the smartest person in the room. 

please leave this topic.

i think you are a sore. a pimple. 

there is no reason for you to post in any topic i start-but, you seem compelled to write in them. how about you choose to not post in any topic i start?

after all, you regularly state how smart you are, with examples of your work.  

so, p*ss off. i do not follow you, and feel the need to write in any topics you start. the next topic you start that is relevant to site issues, or, comical, will be the first. 

you are an angry person. leave us alone.

You are not the only person annoyed by the p.m. CAPTCHA issue.  Thanks for bringing it up.

Hardly "angry."  Amused, in fact.   Check your pasture - there is a goat missing.  I got it.

Block him, then he can't stalk you on any new topics

You must be new.  Al and I go back a long way. We have an uneasy dentente.  He gives as good as he gets.

BTW, not a "him."

But, I have typed deliberately wrong Captcha without changing any part of the messages a few time to know how it works. So long as I type wrong Captcha it will say ' wrong code'. And as soon as I type correct Captcha the messages are sent immediately. I haven't modified any messages. happy.png

To make the site more appealing by applying simple logic.... 
...to assuage the .0001% who have been annoyed by spam messaging, 100% of those who message will be annoyed instead.  That way we all lose.  What could be fairer and more appealing?

I think the purpose of this bug is not for reducing spammers. These bugs might have been used by the programmers for some other purposes. And I won't say what those 'purposes' are.tongue.png

This isn't a bug. It's a 'feature."
