yeah, sometimes that happens. The post times are exactly the same, to within a second (the resolution limit of a timestamp field).

In such situations, I think there's usually a certain degree of understanding from the staff when that happens.

I've entertained the thought of changing the setting that determines whether you can delete your own posts. The thing is, I don't want to extend that option forever, so I'd want a timeout on that ... say 2 hours or something. But the same setting that controls that controls how long you can edit your own posts, too... so if I make you able to delete your own posts within a certain time, you can no longer edit them after that time either.

I've definitely got mixed feelings about that one... so I've stuck with the status-quo for the time being. I don't see the double-posting thing as being a particularly big problem...
