Oh, I thought that this thread would be about the many cults of technology, and how it seems to have taken over the whole of North American society.

BTW, what is 'diffical'? Is that sort of like 'diffused and differing' or something similar?

Actually, the first time I read this thread title, I didn't even notice the Spoonerism! What a riot, that's even better than calling a cop Ossifer. One of my favorites (yellow creep alert) that I've heard is Dain Bramage. My absolute favorite that I coined is Bat Pukannon {creep ends}.

The famous wedding present of the canteen of cutlery is NOT one to spoonerise, but I did hear a BBC Radio 4 announcer warn of fog at Gatport Airwick..... creep ends? Fat chance!!

spoonerisms! go oody! I caught my mother one day, "How much is that?"
"Five bucks, mom, but don't spoonerize it."
"What?, Bive F...."
"Told you."
You'd think she'd know better in a public place than to say words like that.

bobbybuzz, duplicate postings can occur by hitting the submit button more than once, some have found using the back button rather than the Mudcat navigation has caused problems, etc.

As for the removal of the duplicates, Joe or one of his clones normally just delete them as and when they are discovered and this is generally done without comment. The same principle is applied to fixing HTML errors although it is always handy to be made aware of a locked up thread in the Help Forum.
