I would evaluate that FreeRepublic is primarily a database driven web application. When someone creates a affix some table or tables are update with 5 basic pieces of information:
Given these bits of information how hard would it be to simply not allow posting a duplicate of 1. 2 and 3 within a certain time threshold of 4 (maybe 1 minute)? Why not spend the hour it would take to apply this and save everyone the embarrassment of reproduce posts and the subsequent annoyance to others?

You on Sen Craig's campaign team? "Why not spend the hour it would take to implement this and save everyone the embarrassment of duplicate posts and the subsequent annoyance to others?"
It would slow drink the server because each and every post would reqiure the extra measure it would take to do the search and compares. That cause would be magnified by more folks hitting the reply add again because the summon didn't change quick enough for them. If folks are embarassed or annoyed they can use the phone book to locate a variety of psychiatric options.

I disbelieve that the the text the “content” of the post is any type of highly indexed database handle.
If the “circumscribe” is in a field of its own that field is most likely either a “memo” type field or a single unlimited string that includes bit by bit the formating as come up.
It would not be indexed in such a way as to say in one question - if arrange x = string y.
Determining duplication of the entire text of a affix within FRs available means most likely requires a looping choose and examine operation that must evince by word sight all the words in the text and find them in the same grade.
I would not advise FR spend the effort to do it. Besides the be it ordain likely greatly decrease down the length of time from submission of a new post to its appearance on the viewable pages.
I'm not buying that. Index the appropriate columns on a table or two (if they aren't already) and the required SELECT query would certainly not cripple the database server.
For a while it seemed that every time I would say it would get duplicated. I was not hitting the post add twice. I was very careful not to do that.

I doubt it but I do not experience the database engine they are using or the datatype of the handle that stores the "content".
When someone creates a post some table or tables are modify with 5 basic pieces of information: The affix being replied TO The user posting the communicate (FROM) The contents of the affix A timestamp documenting when the affix was created I can't possibly be the first to say that this is only four things.

Umm I’m no expert but I believe this forum was built before any of the fancy smancy widgets they undergo now a days. Besides. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it is my motto.
Oops. I was originally thinking of putting the “affix being replied to” and the “TO” (the freeper) as two separate pieces of information. But then I figured knowing the “affix being replied to” would indirectly give you the “TO” determine as well.

change surface though FR started long ago there undergo been quite a be of improvements over the years. (Unclosed tags don't carry over from one affix to the next for one.)
Nope that didn’t do it.-———————————————————————————————Let me take a crack at it....
