  • slumry Heavens to Betsy--one oaf is quite enough, I think. R, thanks for reminding me to check the list in alpha format.

    This is a lesson in patience! Jul 19, 2007

  • reesetee I like the idea of multiple brainstorms, come to think of it. :-) Like oroboros, I've had "ghost multiples" come up when I'm entering words quickly--then both will disappear when I try to delete one.

    Slumry, for what it's worth, a good way to root out doubles, if you choose to, is to view your list alphabetically (using the sort link under the list title). The duplicates will immediately show themselves. :-) Jul 19, 2007

  • uselessness Gotcha. I like the continuity! All my lists are independent entities, which can be a bit limiting. (Except for the "Testosterone City Trilogy," which is just kinda goofy.) Jul 19, 2007

  • slumry U, as to your question "What is the theme for this list?":

    You could say some of my lists have a megatheme; ie, one overarching theme that links several lists.

    To wit: Tuesday words, Words next, Yet more words, Time for a new list, What, another list?, That's right, another list, Next!, are all stashes of words that I have listed for various reasons. You never know where they might move next! ;-) Jul 19, 2007

  • uselessness You also have double oafs, lapins, steers, hays, and precepts. It doesn't really matter if they stay or go, but the OCD in me had to mention them. :-) Jul 19, 2007

  • slumry Those brainstorms rained down in a veritable storm, didn't they?

    I do not know myself why the word is listed four times. I have had a word appear twice; deleting one deletes both. I fix them when I notice them by deleting both and reentering. Maybe O is right--I entered words faster than the system could take them. More likely, I absentmindedly entered the word repeatedly before it actually appeared. Sometimes when the system is a bit slow and I am waiting, and thinking of more words, I forget whether I *actually* entered the word.

    No biggie, as *they* say. Jul 19, 2007

  • oroboros Good point! ;oD Jul 19, 2007

  • jennarenn slumry has always been a bit of a maverick. This is the woman who made lists without words, and logged more than 300 comments in one week. Why not four brainstorms? ;) Jul 19, 2007

  • oroboros I've had duplicates when I've input words faster than the system can take it, or clicking on the "comment" box twice while the page was loading, but...I'm nonplussed over what's going on here. Jul 19, 2007

  • uselessness Ditto, I didn't even know that was possible. What is the theme for this list? Jul 19, 2007

  • oroboros S., I'm curious about the duplicates (four brainstorms)? Jul 19, 2007
