.... to make the Subject of the posting relevant and reasonably
distinctive. Even "help with formula" is better than "newbie". But
"help with IF" or "help with IF with two conditions/results" is even
better.

Yes, and perhaps a little too much.

In this case, the duplicate postings seem to be about 24 minutes
apart; at least, those are the two postings I see. Giving Lena the
benefit of the doubt, I would guess that the visibility of the first
posting was delayed significantly, at least on her newserver. After
more than 20 minutes, even I might wonder if I truly submitted the
posting, or if I did something stupid that trashed it. So I, too,
might post again. (Well, first I would look at some other
newservers. But I'm not a "newbie" ;-.)

So my advice to newbies and experienced users, too, is: if you
purposely repost in such circumstances, preface or footnote your
reposting with an apologetic explanation. For example: "sorry if
this is a duplicate, but I'm not sure my first posting went through".
And of course, wait a reasonable amount of time before reposting --
which I think Lena did.
