Comment:

 I agree that the duplicate check is probably stricter than it really needs
 to be. It's perfectly legitimate for, say, a post author to reply to
 multiple comments on a thread by saying "Yes" or "Thanks" or whatever.

 That said, I don't know how to allow that without also allowing the
 double-click problem that the duplicate check was originally intended to
 prevent. Let's put in a filter and let people adjust as they see fit.
