One time
too many
I did a double take when I
saw John Trott’s bird article on double scratch appear again, unscratched, for the second week in a row.
It’s true that John’s articles are excellent, but I don’t think we want to read the same one every week. (Does that make it quadruple scratch? Poor birds must be getting tired. )
This is easy enough to avoid. All you have to do is double check each article and scratch any duplicate stories.
