Watch the Robot!

Last night, I decided to meld two of my Blogs, which have similar, if not the same, theme and personality.

Roberto's Retreat 2 (117 Posts), and Roberto's Ravings (88 Posts). There were a couple of 'double-up posts' so, all up, I was exporting (on Blogger in Draft, naturally), about 112 Posts from Roberto's Retreat 2.

Now, having been caught a long time ago, by the SPAM Robot, for posting in excess of 50 posts in a 24 hrs period, I decided to discuss this with a friend. We decided that, as it was an Export/Import, there should be NO worries, but to test it anyway. I did test it, and found NO problem.

OK, using Blogger in Draft, I proceeded to Export the XML File for Roberto's Retreat 2. No problems. I Imported the XML File to Roberto's Ravings - NO Problems. I then went through each of the 'Imported' posts on Roberto's Ravings Post Editor, and Published the lot - 112 Posts - NO problem. Not even a hiccough ...

- until this morning...




Now, I have some questions:

• Why would the new Feature, Import/Export, not entertain the idea of an Import having more than 50 posts?
• Why would it wait until the job was well and truly finished, (over 8 hrs - at least, I was asleep by then), before adding a 'Word Verification' Captcha to my Post Editor - on Both Blogs?
• When will I be rid of it?
• Why the hell, when you are logged-in to both of YOUR Blogs, would the Robot even think you are 'Spamming' yourself? For crying out loud!
  

I now know what 'Al' can do with his 'gorithm'!(Algorithm)
