FDA seizing new shipments

[Rosco]

probably so that only one person per IP address could post

Nope....I just posted a second time within minutes of my last post....

it is just looking for proxies. sometimes your isp is a proxy itself without you knowing, like AOL.

True....but if you ARE hiding your IP, you can NOT post. Tested .

I don't see where I can hide or un-hide my IP address and I don't see anywhere in the browser where I have a proxy set up. I know in the past that sites could see my IP address since if you took a poll or liked or disliked a comment, they knew it was done once. The only thing I can think of is that Hughesnet did something on their end since nothing on my end has changed.

I have software that can hide my IP....my work is with computers.

 

[Caddyman]

it could be a proxy and cookie check, more then likely.

proxy to make sure you aren't cheating

cookie is set to make sure you can't vote over and over again.

but you can post more than once

They may be checking for known spammers. The bulletin Boards I run automatically check ip addresses against spam lists.

 

[Rosco]

That is exaclty one of the things they are doing. Guaranteed.

 

[Caddyman]

i hadn't visited the site, i thought it was a voting/signing thing, not a blog comment thing...my bad

 

[Rosco]

Now is your chance to go post your thoughts.

Well not sure what the issue is, but using PDAnet and staying away from my router and Hughesnet and it went through with no problem. Up to 24 comments. It might be good to put something about this site in the general discussion area.

Traver posted a link to FDA's public input forum inviting comments. I checked it out, there was only 1 comment there last night when I left my comment. I guess that means they have room for A LOT more comments.

I did some roaming on their website and ran across this:

ECF- “The Worlds Largest e-cigarette Forum” on the CRE IPD (Interactive Public Docket) for TPSAC

ECF- “The Worlds Largest e-cigarette Forum

Are they just answering Traver's post, or what? Sure does confirm that ECF is widely read!!

Yes, I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that....
Rather than speculate, I asked politely who funds them.

Brightest Blessings!

I've commented here also. The more comments we can get, the better for everyone.

I'm sure that numbers do make a difference. Just as important is to respond to as many articles on the net as posable. To me it seems that over the last few months these articles have become a lot less biased than they used to be.
