I had my laptop on the ‘in my humble opinion’ homepage page while I went for my shower, and, when I just came back, before refreshing the page, I looked, and this thread had 67 replies, so then I refreshed it, and immediately looked at number of replies, and there was a thread with 68, so I clicked on it, thinking that it was mine, with another post, and it turned out to be a totally new thread.
