Thanks. It happens sometimes. I appreciate the heads up. Don |

double posting something like this though is probably a good thing. |

it's not when someone steals my thunder ;-) |

Normally, if the title is the same (or perhaps, enough fields), it gets flagged as a double post, and we can check out the other entry to determine whether to delete this one. If, for some reason, it doesn't get picked up, and a different editor is up to bat, chances are good that you'll see a dupe. |

Perhaps you should flag on identical URL's as well? |
| dcparris Nov 27, 2006 3:02 PM EDT |
I had assumed that was part of the equation. I'll see if we can improve this. |

Aha! The stories were headlined slightly different, and they both had different URLs. Oh well. |
