Nah, I am glad you pointed that out. I’d seen that before on a few other posts. I tried another plugin called similar posts that is working better, see above, the tabasco is gone

Sorry, TDavid — I didn’t mean to be the source of so much frustration. I just thought it was funny

Argh, and when I tried the other plugin it threw errors over all the pages. Just removed the related posts feature for now.

Yeah, the plugin being used is weighted off the titles There is another one which analyzes the body of the post that I saw the other day and I need to try that one instead. The titles aren’t always the best indicator of the content of the post. Need to look at the entire context of the post, just like an SE bot does.

Great post, TDavid. On an unrelated note, I thought it was amusing that the three related stories your blog came up with all had to do with Tabasco sauce A sign of how far we have to go in terms of getting software to understand human language, I suppose.
