Oops,

I clicked “Submit new thread” and it appeared my browser hung. When it timed out, I clicked again and wouldn’t you know it… two threads-same name.

Could you please delete one (or the other)? They are [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=324650) and [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=324649)

Thanks, and sorry.

OK, done. Generally speaking, you’ll get faster results with “REPORT THIS THREAD”, the little red exclamation point in the upper right corner of each thread. (In this situation, of coruse, you can’t report your own post, so this wasn’t an option. No biggie, I’m just using the opportunity to remind the general membership that you will usually get faster response time with REPORT than with posting.)
