The sudden appearance of a large self-copying molecule such as RNA was exceedingly improbable. Energy-driven networks of small molecules afford better odds as the initiators of life. (full text retrieval failed)

Yeah, I can see that it behaves weirdly with Harper’s. Unfortunately there may not be much to be done about that. The script relies on the target site being constructed with certain HTML tags, and on the HTML being (relatively) correct. If those conditions are met, it should only fail when posts consist entirely of non-text HTML (youtube clips & that sort of thing).

This is a great idea – thanks for putting it up.

I was screwing around with the code just a second ago, and you may have hit the script in between saves.
