I'm seeing 3, 4 or more duplicates of some posts these last few days. Enquiries point to a problem at Google Groups, who have had intermittent server errors.

OT: Duplicate posts - Google problem

No, the problem is their new interface doesn't do anything to keep out duplicate posts.
It used to be that if you tried to post, and something happened, if the post did indeed go out you'd get a message saying that you'd already posted. So only posters would notice the server errors.
Now, the rise in duplicate posts is not because there are more server errors (there may be, but that's a separate matter), because google isn't catching the duplicates and not sending them out.
