Nothing to see here ;) Just trying out a new account, as I think the old one might have been blacklisted. The fact that this managed to make the front page seems to confirm it.
Nope, it's real. Maybe it's just overreaction, but after seeing a few submitted stories get upvoted and then fall far off the front-page in minutes, I got the feeling that the old account might be blacklisted in some way. I was going to kick the tires on this one and see if it worked better.
