In reply to the discussion: Anybody ever do a DU word cloud? [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)29. My point on editing out words being, if you copy the text straight from the journal page,
you're going to get a lot of "Posted by Warren Demontague" (or in your case, Bainsbane) along with dates and times, all of which is sort of extraneous to the actual content of the journal.
At least, the way I did it. I just went through and Ctrl-C'd the whole thing.

Self-deleted is in there. Where, how, do you do this? It's interesting, thanks

Right, that was why I put it in a text window and removed all the instances of mine.

It would have been twice as big if it hadn't been split into two instances!
