I have the correct browser.  And I am following the correct routine.  Sometimes
I can upload files, and sometimes it says "Oops, you made a mistake."  Trust me,
I'm doing it right, with no spaces in the file names.

I blame Peeves the Poltergeist.

Hmm.  You know, now that I think about it, I cannot remember seeing more than a
couple of messages on this list EVER about Peeves, which seems strange since we
tend to discuss everything exhaustively.  And yet, when you think about it, he
does appear in an awful lot of scenes.

What function does he serve in the story?  The Greek chorus?

And hey, maybe Florida is Peeves' fault, too!  He'd love to throw an election
into confusion, right?  I bet he would be delighted to hide a ballot box and
confuse people into punching the wrong place on their punch cards!  (We
Americans have a conspiracy theory for everything, but you have to admit this
one is rather original).

Throwing it out, to see if anyone will bite.
