Suggestions needed. It's very easy to say, "Delete it!" But what about the existing page views and comments, if any?
Supposing someone wants to return to a particular URL, say, a month from now, and it's juust gone.
I'm not really agonising over the decision or anything. It's just that my browser must have failed to connect to the SC server and I resent the post, thinking it had not been published.
Should I delete or should I not? By the way, the more recent of the two posts got the greater attention!

if there are no comments, just delete it; all the stuff you want is the blog entry & the comments, right?
i always delete the dupe, myself.

phoeby: WELCOME TO MY BLOG!
Thanks. Tiny it isn't because I'm actually talking about my loyal readers, not really the rest of the pack out there.
Anyway, the point is that both posts have different URLS - 11856 and 11858 - and so that tells me that someone else on SC posted something in between my duplicates.
Is that important? You bet. Technically, it is but I guess that may be boring for most people. Cheers.

sw: it's quite a dilemma....I wish SC would have in place a system to prevent duplication of posts - something like "Published" message at the top of the page, just in case it doesn't load fully after publishing.
crybabylu: yep, I think that's an A-excellent idea! Thanks. :>
