Sorry, I didn’t know this topic had already been done (“Topics from this thread”, back in 2010.) I did do a search on “Bakers”, “Baker’s” and “Dozen” and thought it was original. My bad.

Let me be the first to say, forget about it! This has been going on so long, NOBODY can be expected to remember every topic we’ve already covered.

And at least you didn’t suggest a topic for which there AREN’T 13 possible answers (as I once did).
