That is why it was suggested by another freeper to repost. The weekend folks saw it, but not the weekday ones.
"2. Regarding duplicate posts, I don't mind them because I'm not on FR 24/7 (or even 12/5!) and so miss some or even many. Having said that, I liked it when the moderator identifed the thread as a duplicate and locked the thread from additional postings. I haven't seen many "locked" duplicate threads lately and expect it's because it takes too much time for the moderator to take the action shown above. In any event, a locked thread with a link sents readers to the original one and cuts down on duplicate comments on the thread. If possible, I would like to see this feature/action by the moderators return to the forum."
We pull duplicates if they are posted a couple hours or less apart. If a thread is posted twice in two days, we leave them up. We try locking the threads, or sending mail as time allows. Sometimes it gets hectic and we just can't get to it. I would recommend if you don't hear from us within an hour or so, send mail or an abuse report to us with your screen name and we will send a reply. But, good news. John is working on a feature where you will be sent notification when the threads are locked or pulled. Coming soon to a thread near you!
