But about 10 minutes later, I reloaded the page and it gave me at least 7 starwars messages as well a smattering of messages (all less than 7) from few other (...)

I want you to know Todd that I myself did not post the message to which I'm replying. I was just checking this group and saw it there, but didn't remember writing it.
