in thread To remove duplicate lines and add digits as per loop

At a guess, this is a language barrier issue. He is removing the "duplicateness" by adding a tag which makes each line unique; in a sense, that is "removing duplicates" -- though this isn't the phrase a native English speaker would likely use to describe the process. Gotta' make room for the human factor here; some tolerance in language parsing can be healthy.

    Thanks for the correction. I certainly did not intend any insult, I really did not understand the question.

      Oh, I didn't see it that way. It was more a pedantic generalized statement on my part.

      I should probably be more careful with my phrasing. : -)
