Welcome to the SDMB, and thank you for posting your comment.

It looks to me like you hit the “new thread” button instead of the “post reply” button since I see this post also in the thread «[New info on why guys have nipples](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=1903)»

Therefore I will close this thread and direct people to the other thread to which I provided a link.
