I did similar. I asked for double my previous salary, figuring that's absurd. They told me that's too low for the position, so they gave me 5 grand more than what I asked for. Clearly I could have gotten substantially more.

That humans use 10% of our brains. We use 100%. Intelligence is correlated with the type of brain matter present.
I have the same issue. I use multiple accounts across different servers, and get a different subset of comments across each one. Not sure the solution right now.
