Yeah, checked again to be sure I was logged in last time.  Yep.  Now to magically deduce whether I was auto-blocked or not auto-blocked, in whatever apparently arbitrary context is relevant.  Careful!  Apparently choosing the wrong one will prevent the other from working.  And here I was ready to flip a coin.  I'm currently curious whether there's a super-really-verifiable un-blocker mechanism, or if my effort will earn me another random block - on my username!  What did I do?!? - a month or so down the road.  The next question is whether I earn less or more blocks when I don't edit a thing in a month.
