After writing a response to the Message Board, my reflex is to hit the “Back” icon on the Button bar to take back me to the Message Board. I then frantically try to stop the re-submission. Is it possible for the SD Programmers to check for a recent submission (e.g. within ~1 minute), and ask the Doper if they really want to post again? ---

This thread may be moved to ATMB, but – how on earth are you double posting when only clicking submit once? And why don’t you just wait for the hamsters to move you back to the messageboard screen? ---

This is not a General Question with a factual answer; it is a question About This Message Board, but since there is already a similar thread in ATMB, I’ll just close this and direct you to [Note to SDMB Developers, Re: Multiple Threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=214393)
