It wasn't so much the similarities as that the other night, I posted a in one area, and, on the main page, that thread appeared as the last posted thread in both sections. Clicking on it in either place took me to the thread, but clicking on the section name "strops" or "stropping" did not take me to the same place. Maybe it was my eyes playing tricks on me or maybe it was something going on with the forum. Either way, it seems resolved now.
