OK, if I post using the web interface from multiple machines, do I need to
enter my info exactly as before to get the cookie for the second machine, AND
be able to post? What if it's slightly different (say, my name is misspelled

if the server decides to emit one the second time, my second machine will store
it. My question is: WILL the server emit another one? Will I get a second
confirming email?
