There once was a poster **Unwashed** who wanted the double-posts quashed. He ranted and railed, but soon was assailed with a bushel of overripe squash. Don’t make me double-post this… ---

If I get the op’s point, its not so much the double posting, it is the half assed excuse that follows. ---

> [@](#): > > We all KNOW how that happened–you clicked on Submit twice, either because you’ve got a nervous mouse finger, or because you didn’t believe that your post was going through when the window just hung there while the hamsters thought it over, so instead of clicking on Refresh or Preview to see if your post went through, you clicked on Submit again. If we all KNEW that, I suspect that we would all be wrong. I have had several posts double in the last two weeks and I know that I did not hit Submit twice on any of them. On one or two, I may have hit the Refresh icon to see if the board would come back (an action I am expunging from my habits). However, the most frequent series of events has been that I got a 404 after submitting, then hit the Back button to see if I could recover the text. Even when I C&Ped the text into notepad and then killed the browser window, when I brought the browser up separately and logged into the SDMB, I discovered a double post. ---

Me too, I just did that recently. Oh and that is another thing that pisses me off, people who just post a “me too” with no other reason for its existence. If you don’t have anything useful to say, don’t say anything. ---

A doper whose name starts with “ **The** ” wrote a better limerick than me. In my haste to seem witty, my reading was shitty and I _whooshed_ on the whole dang OP. Great job, TGU 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/double-posters-get-over-it/168699.md?page=2)
