I do the same in regards to dupes (ie: "zap" or delete them), and
have a feeling the people that are beginning to worry about it the most
don't do this, and actually move their dupes to an area where they can be
seen by themselves. They see that their DUPE area is growing at a much
faster rate lately than it ever has in the past, and start freaking out.

Technically, the tosser is doing exactly what it is supposed to in just
about every aspect here. With that said, deleting dupes rather than keeping
them all definitely eases the mind of never having to see them in the first
place. Obviously with this option you're giving in to the possibility that
once in a bluish-purple with pink polka-dots friggin moon there may be a
"false positive" that may slip by and never be seen.

Darn. :)

Regards,
Nick
