Yeah, I feel like I have seen this posted at least three times before this. I wonder if we should have a contest to see what the most double-posted site in the history of Metafilter is. Also not chastising.

I know this has been posted at least 3 times that I can recall. But I think there was a quadruple, as well. Which would make this a quintuple post. Why is halliburtoncontracts not showing up as a double?
Needless to say, this has been posted before, and if you wanted to post it again monju_bosatsu, you should have at least put a
on the end of your post. Then it would be a ok.

Serious policy question here: if one
obviates the fact the post is a double, does one need to post ![](http://www.sketchzilla.com/madlibs/pill.gif)
to get around the triple? ![](http://www.sketchzilla.com/madlibs/pill.gif)
![](http://www.sketchzilla.com/madlibs/pill.gif)
for a quad? Etc...

Thanks for the refresher?

Excellent post, somehow I hadn't seen this yet. Not to worry, if you hadn't posted it someone would.

I have an image of a dog barfing from the ceiling, is it appropriate to in-line it in this thread? If not, why not? More importantly is it cool to ask this question in this forum or does etiquette demand it be posted elsewhere? If elsewhere then is MetaTalk or AskMeta more appropriate? I'm thinking MetaTalk, as the question relates directly to MetaFilter. 'I have such questions to ask you.'

Isn't complaining that something is a second or third time post -- about the same as making it a fourth and fifth?

Wow. I can't believe someone I don't know visited my blog. All those weeks of writing hilarious & insightful comments and posting amazing links every day have finally paid off! I'm retiring from the internet.
