Duplicate postings when following up on a thread

My post count is probably inflated by something like 20% over the last few days, because the site often posts my reply twice when the load is high. Is there something I can do to avoid this? Is there something I should be doing to notify site administrators about the duplicates? I could click on...

Change in display of date of postings

I would like to propose to change the display of dates in the postings, which is currently mm-dd-yy. To avoid ambiguity, I would like to propose dd-Mmm-yyyy. Thank you for your anticipated consideration.

Date stamp on thread postings.

Is it possible to have the actual date shown, instead of phrases like "1 Week Ago", on threads list of postings? If possible, how do I enable that?

MODERATORS(5)							File Formats Manual						     MODERATORS(5)

NAME

       moderators - mail addresses for moderated Usenet newsgroups

DESCRIPTION

       The  GetModeratorAddress(3)  routine  reads  the file /etc/news/moderators to determine how to reach the moderator of a newsgroup.  This is
       used by inews(1) when an unapproved local posting is made to a moderated newsgroup.

       The file is read until a match is found.  Blank lines and lines starting with a number sign (``#'') are ignored.  All  other  lines  should
       consist of two fields separated by a colon.

       The  first  field  is  a  wildmat(3)-style pattern.  If it matches the name of the newsgroup, then the second field is taken to be a format
       string for sprintf(3).  This string should have at most one %s parameter, which will be given  the  name  of  the  newsgroup  with  periods
       transliterated to dashes.

       Here is a sample file:
	      foo.important:announce-request@foo.com
	      foo.*:%s@mailer.foo.com
	      gnu.*:%s@prep.ai.mit.edu
	      *:%s@uunet.uu.net
       Using the above file, postings to the moderated newsgroup in the left column will be sent to the address shown in the right column:
	      foo.important	  announce-request@foo.com
	      foo.x.announce	  foo-x-announce@mailer.foo.com
	      gnu.emacs.sources   gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu
	      comp.sources.unix   comp-sources-unix@uunet.uu.net
