      Surprised, it doesnt seem that the user_id is actually relevant and its tied to the name that is typed, doesnt really help explain how the names are being transposed with other names in the same thread though! :thumbsdown:

      Definitely user error, the ones I have seen recently are where folks are extracting text from a larger post and getting the brackets wrong or deleting the wrong parts.

      Well that's the thing isn't it.

      In an ideal situation alongside the effectiveness of the people who have already had the virus (not mentioned no where near enough but we have a year's worth of data now to see if they can transmit again) the jabbers will bring that R rate down.

      At this point it will either A, die out as people are just not catching it as there is a barrier with herd immunity. Or B, will keep burning through the young who are least at risk and build towards the herd immunity.

      Either way, this is only heading one way now and that's in a positive direction. I think it will take longer than normal to get back to where we need to be but as far as I am concerned as soon as my parents get their second jab and their 90% as a family I would have thought we will make the decision to go back to normal.

      We Lanes are capable of thinking for ourselves and are aware of the risks and the government can spin it any way they want but I would have thought most free thinking people are the same.

      Lives are there to be lived. If you have your jab and get your 95+% protection from a virus that you have 99.9% survival rate from and still at that point think we should close businesses, destroy kids futures and rack up unprecedented amounts of debt then I don't really know what to say what to say about it really.

      The good times are just around the corner (once we negate the mass unemployment, poverty and the destruction of lives that we have caused over the last year).
      Here's another one of those quote who didn't say it things. Something screwy is going on here. I couldn't see how you could quote me is I wasn't involved in the original response? It was a Prof response to Titan Tim. What's going on mods?

      Are you talking about the alert for this thread here "Inaccurate "quotes""?
      If so the explanation for that is I took a quote from another thread and posted it here to provide more evidence of the issue so you would get an alert for the quote, hope that makes sense! :thumbsup:

      That’s another post attributed to the wrong man!

      maybe if the problem is present on the forum it would be easier to just copy the message and mark the person separately to avoid confusion?
