I have been very good about this lately too. When you go to post a story use the "Search" button and put one of the key words from the stories title in the textobx and select "Titles" in the dropdown and then do the "Search". Odds are it's been posted cause' folks are quick around here. Lately, the same story is posted 4 to 6 times right out of the box with conversations going on in most of them. I'm just saying ....

Search has been broken for months, if not a year or more.
It takes about 24 hours for Search to cache the results and report them correctly.
In fact, this site has become so hopelessly broken that I'm thinking about starting a new thread about it.

I have often wondered about posting to people that have double posted as wasting bandwidth. Isn’t the one posting to the double poster, also wasting bandwidth?

More often than not, the search function does NOT work as advertised though. THAT’s the problem. Heck,when I type in a title of a thread that I know exists (from a few days back), it still usually gives me a “no match found” message.

Why would consolidating 3 separate conversations into one longer thread cut down on traffic? I don’t see any basis for this statement.
Perhaps instead we should institute a comment and page view cap for each thread to make sure to keep traffic down.

How about posting to apologize for a double post?
Actually, it would be rather simple (:)) to implement a “double post” detector.

Obama would suggest paid volunteers to fix the problem; McCain would say it’s a good suggestion but leave it to private posters to manage

I’m running into the same problem. Frustrating.
It seems to be worse lately.
