OB>I contributed over 250,000 taglines to Neil's collection. He OB>is now fast approaching 300,000! Having monitored this page for some time, and found that it (and the number of taglines) hasn't changed, I question whether the said gentlemen has now moved on to other things. The page says that it was last updated on June 14, 1995. Of the 296,272 taglines which you can get by downloading 27 separate files (one for each letter, plus 'others'), about 25-30% are rejected as duplicates by Andres Valloud's GET_ORIG deduplicating program (advt!). A message to Neil pointing out the number of duplicates was accepted by the web site, but I never had any reply. Does anyone know of a similarly large collection of taglines (apart from Gottfried Gidaly's even larger one, of course!) on the web? John ... You can never have everything.
