I've removed the ChangeDetection.com facility from the blog side-bar. A little research on the Internet showed that it is fine for normal web pages, but has been reported as having problems with CSS-type pages (and not with all of them, just some).
CSS or Cascading Style Sheets are responsible for the fancy formatting you see on blogs of this generation of the web. They make it easy for authors to control the way pages look no matter what the browser the user is using to read them. Apparently they're too confusing for ChangeDetection to handle properly, hence the repeats, according to several users.
So if you want to keep up to date with this blog (and why you should, I'm not totally sure), navigate to the bottom and click on the link to Atom feed. This will create a live bookmark in Firefox, which will list all the articles and let you read them directly. If you have an RSS feed reader, you may not be able to see the articles, and I haven't had time to figure out how Internet Explorer will give direct access (depending on the edition of IE). Almost any good newsreader will handle Atom feeds as well as RSS feeds. I'll have more to say on this when I'm not on my employer's time.

Bill, I agree with you totally on moving to the CFL bulbs, and have been doing so right along. There is one thing a friend just tipped me to, however, and I'm passing it along. Go to: http://tinyurl.com/yq8a6l for an excellent report on the unavoidable (so far) mercury in the bulbs and what to do until disposal is better conceived.
Your comment slipped down by one posting, Dee, but in any case, there is hope regarding recycling: http://www.lamprecycle.org/
List by state. (Search on the abbreviation, as in OH, OR etc.)
Mercury poisoning is a well-known phenomenon in Canada. Indian reservations have been dealing with it for years because their citizens have a fish diet. Fish are pretty much the bottom of the food chain, where the mercury, and hence the minimata disease lies in wait.
