    "Downsize" - buying 45rpm singles instead of LPs

    "Reduce Box Count" - Not counting how many boxes you have so often, in order not to horrify yourself.

    they are prophetic words to you Al to start selling that mountain of kit you have stashed away.....
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    I too see these two phrases appearing regularly in thread titles - neither makes any sense to me.
