Tried to comment on this article for the first time but it said "Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!" (which is a Wordpress message). Why? Is this a bug? What am I doing wrong?

    The blog is notoriously under powered for its commenting features and I can't suppress the notion this is very much by design. You're not supposed to comment on that blog there or anywhere else for that matter.

    If there's a bug, it's in WordPress, not SE. And blog comments are really too minor to be worth spending dev time on. All in all, if there's corresponding Meta post, comment there, otherwise... no big deal.

I am assuming that your comment was accidentally double-submitted, and wordpress showd you the duplicate comment message on the second submission.

In any event, your comment did come through and is now on the blog.

    Thanks. What was strange, I didn't submit twice! Only hit the submit once and got the message. Somehow WP thought it was twice. Strange.
