Post 84649 by blue_beetle deleted for the following reason: There's this thing where if something's a double but it's been years and years and it's built up a lot of content sometimes we'll just let it stay anyway, and this blog manages to somehow subvert that principle by having a lot more content than it did six years ago without actually having any more content. -- cortex
