Ok, Thanks for your post below Rob, I was going to delete it because your messages are a bit difficult to understand sometimes, but I'm glad I took the time to figure out your points!
Rob is right in that one can quickly close multiple webpages by repeatedly split tapping on the "close page button." Where I fell into major confusion was the fact that David previously conveyed that one can double-tap on the close button, but this is not easy to do nor is it consistent, but this is only true when trying to execute a double-tap as he instructed. Rob's new twist is that he specified one repeatedly execute a split tap on the close button and this absolutely 100% works and is quick and easy to do. Again, it is a bit slow to find this close button, but if you do, don't move your finger off of the screen then split tap like crazy to get rid of all extraneous Safari webpages. Thanks Rob for taking the time to experiment and thank you very much for teaching me a new little IOS trick as I'm still only 2 or so months into the IOS world.

But it is a small button to hold the focus on. Use a left finger so when you find it, keepit still and touch with another finger every time you get it to say close with said left finger. R. Ain't split tapping wonderful! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph FreeTech" <joseph.freet...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2013 3:25 AM Subject: Re: Safari reopening pages Well, I stated as clearly as I could that one can't easily find the close button so one has to resort to swiping to locate the close button when using Safari. I have very good success placing my index finger on or very close to most items within the Settings menu without having to swipe to locate the item. (In short, I don't know what question you are trying to answer.) At this point I'm going to let it go because I can't make my point any clearer. No one else has stated that finding the close button is at pixel X and Y (Exaggeration), so I'm going to assume I'm not alone. (Smile).

When you are flicking through a page, you are not locating the button's actual physical location on the touchscreen. If you know where the button is physically on the screen, you just need to touch that spot again to be on the button again. Placing your finger on the actual physical location of the button uses spatial orientation. Flicking to the button utilises serial computer navigation, not physical spatial orientation.
