Do young kids where you are come tease each other about the other sex? 'Cooties?' Whatever they call it.

My question is how the parasite is spread. What does that 12.3% mean for the rest of the population? Why did they only test women?

Why did they only test women?

It's a major pregnancy risk.

Have you tried using another browser? That might help you figure out if the problem is actually on the browser end and not something weird with the LW software.

I'm using a different browser (different computer same browser by name) now and it is working fine. My other browser seems to work fine for a while after I restart it until some event causes it to thereafter double post every time. My hunch is that I could identify the triggering of one of the plugins as the cause. Even then the symptom is outright bizarre. What kind of bug would make the browser double send all post requests?

Perhaps a failed attempt at spyware!

No matter. I don't like my other computer anyway.
