Still, when I checked the first time (wondering whether it was doing this for comments) there was only one comment. It hasn’t in the past, but you’ve changed things, so maybe that’s part of it.

Would it repost with each comment? I really don't know, but thanks for letting me know and I'll keep an eye on it. I don’t see anything unusual about the post itself.

It's reposted as many as ten times, or more, this afternoon alone. And many, many times since you added the pictures. That's what's so wierd. I think it does repost every time you save an edit, but this has been a bit much, even if you have been tinkering with it incrementally. I usually see this on big sites like Slate where admins are constantly moving stuff around or, in a few cases, on sites that were getting hit by spam in text of the post itself. I see you're blocking a lot of comment spam, but that shouldn't be doing it. Anyway, dunno. Dislike is perhaps too strong a word.

Maybe that was it. I always mean to write offline and cut and paste, but I never end up doing that. Does it repost every time I fix a typo anywhere?

Usually this is useful, because it lets me know that people (ok, Glenn Greenwald, mainly) have updated their post. Sometimes, though, people are getting hit with spam, or the entry is reposted for other reasons that aren't immediately apparent. I use NetNewsWire, but the behavior is consistent in other news readers that I've used in the past. Again, no big deal if you're just fiddling with typos, etc., but I thought you might want to know that this entry has reposted a whole bunch of times. At first, I thought it might be comments, but there isn't enough comment traffic to explain what's happening.
