Nabble users: don't edit your posts!
Dear nabble users,
The amount of messages coming in through nabble is astounding.
Unfortunately this is mostly due to the ability of you editing your
messages, which causes them to be sent twice or thrice to this list.
As nabble hides that fact from you (it knows which message you have
edited), this may not be something you are aware of.
By editing you messages you cause the core devs, and others that have
subscribed to the list to see your message two or three times.
This causes a lot of irritation for us: it is annoying to see the same
post twice, or more. It is annoying to reply to them (which one do we
need to reply to?) It makes following the thread hard.
Therefore I urge you to stop editing your messages once you have sent
them. If you don't do so, we will have to close down the option of
posting through nabble and only allow messages coming in from
subscribed users.
Martijn Dashorst

One other reason why Nabble resends the message is if someone posts a message
and if it hasn't been accepted yet, Nabble puts these notices saying your
message has not been accepted so try posting your message again... for
someone new to Nabble forum they think they need repost their message again,
which also makes them think I can edit my message since I am reposting it.
This has happened to me recently and I am sorry to repost and edit it and
won't repeat it again.

IMO, I'd disable the Nabble posting. If people really have questions,
they'll subscribe to the list.

I posted the problem to their support forum, hopefully it will help. :-)

I know, but not asking is most certainly not going to help.

I asked, and they don't have that facility. Maybe if you ask too
(support at nabble.com), and others that see this as a problem, they
will fix it. Until then...

Considering the number of times certain questions are asked on this list
that are answered 1000 times in the archive, I'm kind of afraid this
isn't really going to help (unless it's posted frequently).
Is it not possible for nabble to disable the edit function for
specifically the wicket lists? In the last 24 hours there have been at
least 8 double posts!

Sebastiaan
