| We've been getting a lot of duplicate posts lately, so I wrote a routine to check the URLs and to check the headlines against the current and previous day's posts. If there's a hit, the post will be flagged and will go to the editors' queue, to be either quietly deleted or to be released — some sites reuse URLs, even though it's lousy practice. So if your post disappears when you hit "Submit," probably somebody beat you to it. |

| #7 Great turn around speed Fred! It would have taken 6 months with a SEI/ISO std. concern. |

| #6 I thought so too, but it is good to always have something in the queue. |

| #4 But not fool proof. Two articles posted today on Bush/Blair one WaPo other NY Slimes. Too bad the comments in one can't be directed to the other so the comments are in a single thread. |

| #2 Gret! Now I won't have to use my brain. Mostly I avoided that, because I looked first, but sometimes the clever titles caused me to overlook a duplicate. I just hope now that checking is no longer necessary that the flood will not clog the I/O. Do we still do that? Or do we use up bandwidth? |
