There are no keywords and no Farrakhan in this thread, which is why I suppose it didn't turn up when I searched (right before I hit "post.")

If you're going to post an article, why would you care about keywords when conducting a search to see if it's already been posted?

Perform the search by title.

Keyword searches are used when looking for a particular topic, not a specific article.

I actually did search by title first, but then searched for "farrakhan" and "son", etc after. I've seen the "already posted" police in action before, so I am careful. But mistakes happen, yes?

If I remember correctly, the article posted 2 minutes after yours, which was probably why yours didn't show to me right away. Seeing the story probably was picked up by us both at nearly the same time stands to reason. It (searching by keyword) has worked for me before, no reason for it to not work again here and there. Not all articles are titled identically, as I am sure you know.

Relax, dupes aren't meant to step on toes. :) Hence my thanks for mhking alerting me to your original, and first post?

The two articles were actually posted less than five minutes apart - it's possible that the first one wasn't posted when the second one was started.
