Last time I saw him, he had lost a lot of weight. I wonder if he had a heart attack?

If the search would default to “title” instead of “keywords”, we could avoid a lot of these duplicates.

Well I may despise shills in any way, shape or form...
But I will admit that Billy Mays was a talented master of his craft,
and fifty years old is far too young to pass from this Earth.
RIP Billy Mays... and may the Lord bless and comfort your family.

I doubt that’s the real problem. Just a hunch though.

My 14 year old son is more upset about Billy Mays than Michael Jackson.

Someone died pal. Jeff Goldblum didn’t. Is this a joke to you too?

Agreed. The “already-been-posted” Taliban really need to get a life and soon.

All you need to do is search on the words Billy Mays and you find the threads. You should never search on the full title.

Maybe you should direct that to Jim and the Moderators. They delete and lock duplicates when they see them.
