I'm surprised we weren't treated to the story of the 11 lucky ducks when it happened 10 years ago. It would take a great deal of restraint to not even mention something like that for a decade.
It must have been another case of "pure luck" which allowed the thread diversion, aka Boer War history lesson to get into a thread with one inadvertent mouse click.
For most of us, we would have to first click on the REPLY Box.
Then we would have to move the cursor inside the REPLY box.
Then we would have to right click the mouse and select PASTE in order to PASTE content that had been copied earlier.
Then we would have to click on the little SUBMIT box.
Then we would have to return to the very same thread later to see if there was any replies to a post we didn't realize we made.
And we would then have to convince people that all of the steps required to submit a post could actually be done accidentally with one errant click.
Space aliens! Yeah, it had to have something to do with illegal aliens from outer space! Or maybe something a bit closer to the earth... like bullshit.
