I just did several searches of the article title using one or two of the title words. The results all showed that this article was posted at 11:09 AM EST, and now again at 10:44 PM EST. There is nothing wrong here.

Who has the time to read articles here all morning and then all night too, and even if some do have the time, why be offended that others are given the chance to read it tonight?

I recall FR moderators saying that around two hours of separation is acceptable for duplicate posts, and I saved a quote for your edification. . .

Okay or not (meaning I assume some dupes won't be summarily deleted), duplicates result in spreading out the commentary and making it less likely a given reader will be exposed to previous thoughts.

I tend to post on first submission threads and not even read duplicates of the same article.

I didn't know that.

THANKS - and sometimes the search doesn’t deliver -

I know I didn’t see it before and I’d a pinged it! :)

Use the whole title and search under "titles".

It works very well, every time.
