Another flame about posting... top, bottom, inline - madre. So, you 
enjoy scrolling through messages to read the latest on a given thread? 
Yippee, have a cup of coffee, get some dr. scholls and gel - just don't 
go kicking me off the list :)

Jesse - Sounds like a hardware problem.
A couple of things to try would be:
0. Try another keyboard.
1. Clean the keyboard - blow out the debris.
2. Boot into another OS and see if it happens there.
3. Do like the Fonz, smack it good.

If none of that works, go figure.
