This is the scenario where I think I've seen this happen.

  1. You prepare your reply, click "create"; the servers running a bit slow so you switch to another tab for a few seconds or minutes.
  2. When you return, you notice a /msg (that was probably there from before), and either click to browser the reply node, or send /msg response.

    You fail to notice that the create hasn't completed.

  3. You back up to get back to whatever you were doing before you switched away, see the create button and click again. Dup.

Is that a realistic scenario? I'm not sure. You rarely think to take detailed notes before the duplicate happens.

But if it is, the absence of nodelets might prevent it. Not a big argument in favour of it, but may a little icing if it comes about.

Which it has for me--via css--I am gleefully typing this reply in a (zoomed 140%) full-screen wide textarea. If I could avoid generating the load of the nodelets, I would willingly.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
