#Inconsistent script, I'm not going to implement it.  Seems to wait often for facebook.com and as.eu.angsrvr.com, which verification almost always goes against.

#Anyway what the script *should* do is click the "Please verify your account to comment" link at the bottm, then resend activation link (common failure point).  Then it will shoot out to
#mailinator, log in, open the email, and (should) click the activation link.  That also is kind of a wash.  Probably could revisit someday and translate the email to raw format, then
#pick the url.  For now this is inconsequential

#I was going to add extra functions in here to test case the facebook, pinterest, twitter, and embedded options.  But I think they're largely functional.  Maybe a future feature
