      Ironically, if I post from my iPhone Blogger never throws me out at all. Of course, Blogger also has no idea whom I might be on my iPhone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    2. Strangely -- strangely in view of everyone else's experience -- I have never had any problem. Is it because I'm using Google Chrome and, except for a couple of times, using my Google identity to post? Why would that matter?

    3. I seldom have difficulty posting here. Like Bill, I use my Google identity, though on Sea Monkey. *shrug* Who knows why Blogger does anything?

    4. I figure part of my problem is that my browsers are out of date, as are my computers' operating systems.

  6. Blogger won't let me post a link, so I will try just posting the Guardian headline:

    1. But doing well, I see. I wonder if that is what we came down with; didn't see any reason to be tested--just kept to ourselves and took it easy. Standard flu-like symptoms, first such we have had in a long time.
