"This happens a lot, and FR “veterans” do it almost as much as newbies, and invariably the complaints come and sometimes the new threads get zotted. Might be nice to have an interface in the “post-an-article” page which would look for other “similar” news article threads within the last week and list them if they exist along with an “are you sure?”"

It's called "Search"

Hmmm! I missed yesterday’s post and so I am thrilled with today’s post! This “IS” Important enough o post twice ormore in my not so humble opinion.Its about bringing Congress and the Ruling Class back down to Earth where our Forefathers tried to hold their feet to the fire! Today’s Congress and the Obama Executive Branch has turned into a “ROCKY HOOROR SHOW and a Three Ring Circus!” of bizarre Sicko’s! who dont give a sheet about what is Good for America or Americans that were born legitimately here in America and that included the Imposter and Forger-In-Chief!

It's called "Search"

And the Search often fails and many people have noted that.

I've had better luck using google, typing in the google search box:

freerepublic

But even that sometimes fails.

I've actually quit posting articles because of this problem.

The number one thought I have when I post an article is: Oh, sh*t, despite my efforts, is this a duplicate.

It's not worth it to me. Almost everything gets posted here eventually anyway. So I just comment on existing posts. I don't post anything new anymore.

But anyway, your supercilious "it's called Search" comment shows that you don't post much either, or you would be aware of the problems.
