Sorry, something went wrong on my weather/computer post

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I apologize for the problem that happened when I posted the newsitem about the weather forecast in Oklahoma. For some reason, the news story appears three times! Can someone please tell me how this could have happened, so I won't do it again?

I highlighted the news story, then pushed ctrl c. Then I came over here, opened up this box, clicked in the box, and pushed ctrl v, and the story appeared. But then when I pushed, submit, somehow it ran the story 3 times! If someone has the time, could you please help me with this matter? I'm new on computers, so please explain very simply. Thanks!!

Margo, it might just be the server developing artificial Polly intelligence, or would that be an oximoron? It merged some of a prior post with my text earlier.
