The four five twelve questions are exactly the same; they have the same answers, comments and the same question, just different ID numbers.

I suppose this isn't really a question, just wondering what may have caused this anomaly.

  • Also, the five questions all refer to the same original question ID from Stack Overflow, #6343711.

  • It's an error in a scheduled routine that is repeating, we know it's happening...don't feel the need to edit every time with an updated count. (:

    I'm worried that this would cause a wrongful post ban against mm1 due to the number of closed and deleted questions...
