Well, the good news is that, as far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with
the news server. The bad news is that, apparently, your web browser actually
did submit the post three times. According to HTTP form the logs, the
timestamps of the posting via HTTP were:
Tue Dec 12 22:22:07 EST 2000
Wed Dec 13 12:55:08 EST 2000
Wed Dec 13 12:55:23 EST 2000
and they were all posted from the same IP address (apparently a static IP
addres on mediaone.net). The raw low-level HTTP logs match the raw form logs.
The timestamps on the articles that appeared are:
Wed, 13 Dec 2000 03:22:07 GMT
Wed, 13 Dec 2000 17:55:11 GMT
Wed, 13 Dec 2000 17:55:25 GMT
so these all match up within 2 seconds. (Note that they are expressed in two
different timezones but they represent essentially the same time.) If there
was a large time discrepancy in any of the timings, I'd be inclined to worry
that the article got "stuck" somewhere, but to the contrary, everything that
I can find out points to your browser having actually initiated two additional
posting requests.

p.s. I canceled the duplicates.
