Double posts.

For whatever reason double posts happen. Anybody who has been here long enough has experienced a hamster oddity. Heck, there was that one person who somehow managed to multipost the same thread 14 times.

Generally, the multi posts will happen within a few minutes of each other. What I want to know is how did I manage a double post that was roughly 17 hours apart? Here is the thread. I don’t discount the idea that I somehow messed up, but 17 hours?

Naw, that ain’t you. While posts that appear to be made consecutively may sometimes be the fault of the user hitting the submit button repeatedly (this isn’t always the case either as the flood control is supposed to prevent it), when identical posts appear over large spans of time, the fault lies entirely with the server. It gets confused when the backlog of instructions gets too long and all sorts of weird things happen.
