Well, Silk, I've done it, too--repeated information. Goes with the turf here and skimming threads as we all probably do from time to time.
Once this weekend when I needed to delete a post and couldn't because it was in the body of the thread with posts following it, I just deleted the contents, returned to the thread, then edited my "Post Deleted by Wordwind" (or some such language), and added some text to the deletion.
Now that's a dubious solution, but a solution expressed in a whirl. One of the more tech-savvy beings here might have a more practical solution--that is, if you ever really want to delete a post in the body of a bunch of posts. There are good reasons for deletions, such as finding out later that your post appears twice in a row--and that has happened to me several times.
Best regards,
WW

Your mea culpa's are more than enough (but a sweet note to Geoff isn't totally out of order) as Ms WW points out, we have all made mistakes!
welcome to the world we tear your head off for a mistake, and then say, Oh, it wasn't anything at all to worry about.. there is no pleasing us!
but seriously, i am glad you didn't delete. our mistakes, are legion, and add to the fun.. you correct geoff, we correct you , and someone will correct me..

I'm busted
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money, we may ragged and funny,
but we'll travel along, singing this song, side by side
Ray Charles: (I can't put this in the green, can I?)
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The country's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted
We went to your brother to ask for a loan cause you're busted
I hate to beg like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted
My brother said there ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking about calling on you ´cause I'm busted
Well I am no thief, but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last Summer is gone and I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton can't grow
Me and my family got to pack up and go
But we'll make a living, just where we don't know cause I'm busted
I'm broke, no bread, no potatoes, I mean like nothing

Where'd that snake-eyes quote come from, anyway?
I'm guessing it's from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There's a character named Willow in it. Plus, the quote smacks of the speaking/writing style on the show.

"Craps or Dice is one of the fastest and most exciting games to be found in any casino. The game
of Craps is thought to have come from the southern United States. Adapted from the English game
of Hazard, popular around the 1800's, the game was played in the cotton fields and later spread
up the Mississippi. The usual locations for Dice games would be steamboats, river wharf's, docks
and saloons. Throughout this period the game was largely reinvented into the modern 'Bank Craps'.
Dice today, may still be heard to be called 'African Dominoes' and of course the history of dice
goes way back. When Caesar took his army across the Rubicon, against the wishes of the Roman
Senate, he used the words of a dice player "Iacta alea est" the die is cast. "
The place of origin suggests origin of phrase 'snake eyes' .

Why craps? Seems a funny word for a game.

Looks like a fan fiction site (since I don't recall Xander ever taking a job as a male stripper!). I didn't read the whole thing but the line is very consistent with the actual character of Xander from the show.
