Sometimes the Second Life Forum acts up, causing you to end up double posting, but this is not a double post. A double post is made inside of a single thread.
Reposting involves posting the same information from a locked thread into a new thread. That is frowned upon and could very well be against the rules.
A hitching post is a post to which horses, mules, donkeys, neko submissives, riding dragons, and the like are tied.
A trading post is a shop/store/establishment set up in a thinly settled area, or at least in an area that is seen as being in the frontier far from "civilization."
A post office is "a game in which one player is designated “postmaster” or “postmistress” and calls another player of the opposite sex into an adjoining room, ostensibly to receive a letter but actually to receive a kiss."
Emily Price Post was an USAmerican authority on Etiquette.
A military post is a place where officers can find the officers club.

Mr. Avatar: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(Anonymous Linden does not respond.)
Mr. Avatar: 'Ello, Miss?
Anonymous Linden: What do you mean "miss"?
Mr. Avatar: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Anonymous Linden: We're closin' for lunch.
Mr. Avatar: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this post what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very forum.
Anonymous Linden: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Double Post...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Mr. Avatar: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Anonymous Linden: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Avatar: Look, matey, I know a dead post when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Anonymous Linden: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable thread, the Norwegian Double Post, idn'it, ay? Beautiful verbiage!
Mr. Avatar: The verbiage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Anonymous Linden: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Mr. Avatar: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the strand) 'Ello, Mister Norwegian Double Post! I've got a lovely fresh word for you if you
show...
(Anonymous Linden hits the strand)
Anonymous Linden: There, he moved!
Mr. Avatar: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the strand!
Anonymous Linden: I never!!
Mr. Avatar: Yes, you did!
Anonymous Linden: I never, never did anything...
Mr. Avatar: (yelling and hitting the strand repeatedly) 'ELLO Norwegian Double Post!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes post out of the strand and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Mr. Avatar: Now that's what I call a dead post.
Anonymous Linden: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Mr. Avatar: STUNNED?!?
Anonymous Linden: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Double Posts stun easily, major.
Mr. Avatar: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That post is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour
ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged drama.
Anonymous Linden: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Mr. Avatar: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
Anonymous Linden: The Norwegian Double Post prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable thread, id'nit, squire? Lovely verbiage!
Mr. Avatar: Look, I took the liberty of examining that post when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting in the forum in the
first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
Anonymous Linden: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that thread down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its drama, and
VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
Mr. Avatar: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this thread wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
Anonymous Linden: No no! 'E's pining!
Mr. Avatar: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This post is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e
rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the forum 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the
bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-post!!
(pause)
Anonymous Linden: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh,
we're right out of posts.
Mr. Avatar: I see. I see, I get the picture.
Anonymous Linden: I got a slug.
(pause)
Mr. Avatar: Pray, does it talk?
Anonymous Linden: Nnnnot really.
Mr. Avatar: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Anonymous Linden: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)
Mr. Avatar: Well.
(pause)
Anonymous Linden: (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come back to my place?
Mr. Avatar: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure.
