Do you want to abort the script?

Could you please look into this and see if there is any streamlining that could be done? I am using Firefox on Linux.

Thanks,

You probably should report yourself, no? Hi Allen,

The queue there is checked at intervals, and comments not in violation of our Rules of Engagement released. It doesn't help to repost the comment, as then we just find multiple copies when we check the queue.
