This is a test post on the SDMB. The posters who’s names begin with ‘X’ in your area in involuntary coercion with the SDMB staff and other authorities (and we all know who YOU are) have developed this system to keep you informed of test posts. Had this been an actual thread you would have been informed of where you could go to block all future posts from users with names beginning with ‘X’. This is only a test. Thank you for your cooperation, and really…have wonderful day!!

Looks to me like the duplicator button works perfectly.
