#2 Yes. It too was a duplicate. I posted the original a few days back.

We get 80 to 100 posts a day now. If we don't remove the duplicates we're going to be over-run. Sorry.

#6 I posted that one today too. Something about a marine breaking a mugger's neck that has such appeal. Maybe calling it a "feel-good" story would be going too far but, at least, it does give a satisfying feeling of vicarious catharsis.

Or is that just two ways of saying the same thing?

No, it *definitely* was a feel-good story.
