One thing it should do better is to display an alert that an identical topic title has already been posted. I vaguely remember that software feature from my early posting days, here or elsewhere, so did an experiment with this World News topic title and there was no such alert. I noticed that was a problem here on the day that I posted the Sierra Club topic. There was a high-activity timeframe for new topics towards the end of that day but the unusual thing about it was that no less than 3 of the new topics listed on the sidebar at the time had identical titles. Prior to that, I had occasionally seen 4um topics duplicated but not many and that rapidly.

That is what I thought too. But I had a glitch that prevented me from posting or making comments. Neil fixed it and I am grateful to him for that. ;)
