Re: Stop form submission?

Just a wild suggestion.  How about having the CGI dump any duplicates that 
come through?  In the meantime, the user can punch the button as many times 
as they like.  You only care that you receive the first one they send.

Details:
Have the cgi cache the first submission for ten minutes or so.  Any forms 
that come through that match it, are then dumped.  After that time window, it 
forgets the original submission.
