OK, guy - why don't you and Servo just dish up a little "tutorial" on the Search feature (very lacking, IMO) of FR....that way, you "already posted Nazis" can take some time off.

Since you requested it, here it is. Both of these methods will only work for titles on the same forum that share at least one common word, so completely-retitled articles or articles on more than one forum won't get caught:
Method 1 (this will match any word in the title, so one will likely be doing some scrolling)
- On the "browse" page you wish to search (the link is to the News/Activism page), type in the title in the search box near the top of the page.
- Make sure the "by title" is displayed in the drop-down box.
- Hit "find".
- Scroll to find duplicate posts.
Method 2
- Click on the search link at the top and bottom of any thread (duplicated here).
- Type the title in the text box.
- Select whether you want to search for any word in the title, all words in the title, or the exact phrase.
- Hit "Search".
- Scroll.
