Just another online mystery.

At least it's easy to get back on, some sites destroy everything and I have to shut it all down. This time I was in a 6 paragraph op and lost everything.

Not a scientific study.

Or maybe cloudflare is having the fits.

Just throwing that out there as a suspicion to be proven or disproven.

It happens when I paste a title and content from a website. Typing in the title manually fixed it in each instance.

Not enough data to show it is not just a coincidence.
