Double postings, parallel threads

It seems impossible to avoid double postings, although I have never succeeded in producing one. Problem is, it's not unfrequent that double postings result in parallel threads, with different people posting different things in them. The logically easiest way of avoiding these parallel threads seems to be to eliminate the duplicate(s) -at times there is more than one- before answers begin being posted. However, I think this means adding an extra burden to the forum hosts. Which to me looks terribly unjust: they are already doing an excellent job as it is, without even receiving our thanks.

Anyone has a better and more feasible idea to avoid these annoying parallel threads?
