Trump's Assaults on Scientific Research Just Got Worse

6. There are lots of posts that duplicate previously posted information.

A due diligence search before posting can help a bit but there are always lots of open time windows and different perspectives.

I've come to the personal conclusion that if it is good information, having it repeated in some form is better than not having if visible to many people.

I would encourage DU to look at a way of identifying possible duplicates or highly-similar posts and give the subsequent submitters a choice of adding to a prior submission, going ahead and submitting as an OP, or dropping the new submission.

Wishes and ponies....
