andrewduckerI posted a suggestion through the LJ suggestion generator, and was instantly inspired by a second one.
So I wrote it up, and hit "Post", at which point it told me that because I had one item in the queue I couldn't post another one.
Great piece of interface that - how about telling me _before_ I spend 5 minutes typing it up?

As a note, the icon has just reminded me of the William Tenn story "The Liberation of Earth", in which a pair of Alien races liberate the Earth repeatedly from the nefarious clutches of the other one, until there's not much left of the planet at all. I read it repeatedly as a kid, must track a copy down.
