Why is it that occasionally the Guide sees fit to replicate forum entries? I've seen it do this up to quadruplicating (is that a word?) them. It's a bit odd, and I was wondering if there was any way of stopping it.

Possibly the best way of stopping multiple posts wouldbe to wire the 'Post Message' button up to the mains power - that should discourage people hitting it repeatedly ~ & I'm fairly sure that's the cause of multiple forum entries - hitting the post button lots

If the database server is slow, people think it hasnt been sent and send again. We have all done it - so no problem ... one of those things really

Is that why it says "Please do not press this button again"?

NO, the 'please do not press this button again' message is the closest translation of the the exsian word 'click for more money' which is actually unpronouncable by a biped.
I'll prove it now if you wish.

Definition : A form of currency used in the purchase of galaxies, again, this is the closest translation available for bipeds, and does not refer to 'wavy lines'.

I apologize. I'm new to intergalactic commerce. How many do you have to get to buy a galaxy? A nice one, not those cheap mass-produced junk piles.
