You're right, you can't, and I think that's a Good Thing©. However, that post was written a year ago, and according to the faqlet about moderation: "After a long-running debate (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7), the ability to approve and front-page your own nodes was removed. The numbers reference meditations about the topic, the last one being in October of 2001, so until at least the end of October, you still could frontpage your own nodes. As for duplicate posting, eh..there must be a thousand SoPW nodes about why s/// or map() don't work like they expected, meditations a year apart are acceptable. :)
