Has it done weird stuff before? Like on your desktop?

Ya, there is, but if the second HTTP POST comes in before the first one
has had a chance to stuff a copy of the article in the "recently posted"
area, then the test for duplicity in the second one would result in a
false negative. It really ought to use a short-term locking mechanism
(like a short-term mutex) to prevent this sort of anomaly. It was
designed to catch accidental re-clickings of the form button seconds or
minutes or hours apart, but not within the same fraction of a second...
sorry about the mess.
