I _never_ hit "submit" twice. Yet I occasionally see duplicate posts from me. I see them from others as well. And I occasionally see a post with _no_ new text at all. Strange, to say the least. But for the moment, I am assuming a technical problem is acting here... it is happening too often, with too many different people, to be 'dumb fingers' mistakes. On this topic, I would prefer that people post a link to large PGN files, rather than posting the PGN directly. No sense in downloading many K of stuff that most are not interested in seeing in its entirety.
