Mostly irrelevant question: I found it curious that both A and B used the word "body" in places where I would have expected "self" or "mind" or "person":

Forcing or planning a body to serve just one body (even one's own body) will involve abuse.

While I’d like to think that’s not true, since my body’s tendency for as far back as I can remember has been to challenge wrong or unnecessary confabulations (I have to remind my body to be positively reinforcing of good actions)

Out of curiosity, daenerys, was this a coincidence or an artifact of editing?

After re-reading, I've been thinking these might be the same submitter myself, but having blinded myself to keep people's anonymity, I have no way of finding out myself. There had also been a similar spelling/grammar thing I had corrected in both these entries.

The most likely explanation would be if this was one submission that had a separation (like a row of asteriks) that made me end up processing it as two differing submissions when I was moving them all around into similar themes.

If you are the author(s) of this submission, and you don't mind me knowing, please PM me with whether or not this was one submission or two.

ETA: I have updated the OP to include a note that the two submissions may actually be one that I accidentally split in two (or might not be).

Alternatively, they could use a common account (if there is one) or a one-shot sockpuppet for the purposes of PMing you the information while retaining (some) anonymity.
