First i' d like to apologize for first sending this out to the wrong place.

I've Super Searched perlmonks for posts dealing with first posts, and have not seen any prior discussion, although there probably already was one. here goes...

After having previewed a reply to a node (if you're righteous), I think that a "First post submit" button could be of use. This button should submit in case you've just submitted the first reply. If the node has already been addressed, then you are notified and brought back to the preview results page instead.

I reckon this won't work for real first post behavior, but only for swift appropriate responses.

It just seems odd to see 3 replies, all nearly the same within a minutes proximity to each other...

Will it aid? or just be more clutter?
