Whats going on with these Duplicate Threads?

[NotLKH]

So How are these Doubles occuring?

For example, the Megatron Multiple threads, and now these two identical threads:

Number1

Number2

And, is there an easy way to list other such dups?

People do that to...
1. Put their postcounts up
2. To *try* to get *more* help

I don't think it's an error, one of them gets closed I believe.

robdon's a new member with a post count of 2 so it was probably accidental...

well the megatron threads are weird cuz all the replies were the same (until they went their separate ways )

.......nope, not a duplicate

Gaffer,

If that was an attempt to display how to create a post or thread
identical to a previous one, you've got the text, but try duplicating
the post date and time.

Which does bring up the question:
If you do make a mistake, and post a new thread twice by accident, are the
date/time stamps Identical?, like they are in Number1 & Number2? Of course, if you use two or more
machines, and post Identical threads/messages at the same time, then it would naturally occur.

So, what does everyone think?, in terms of the two sets
of threads that have been pointed out, Are they:

1) unintentional user mistakes
2) VB-World glitches?

or

3) Intentionally done?

I already saw some things like that and asked in the Feedback Forum, but no one answered.
I usually get such things while searching (Ex: Wierd Search Results).

The Real One

and

The Baby Thread

well if you look at the bottom of the screen in the admin options you will see that you can copy a thread.
