Well, first of all, as expected the duplicate thread with my question in it has been deleted, so I am not facing the problem any more.
When in doubt, just quote yourself and it's no longer a duplicate post. At least that's what I do.
Interesting but I don't think it would be useful for this particular case.
Well, I checked your reply there and it was a basic question and I am really amazed to see that you are that much rule-obedient. I mean you even remember the rule number and know the rule too. It's not that I don't follow rules but I think you are being too careful here. The most that will happen is, that the board in which you posted, might get deleted along with your post, nothing more. If I am not wrong.
I think you have made a too exaggerated interpretation. I looked at the number of the rule, and I try to follow the rules, which I know are unofficial and there is some margin of interpretation, in what I am rule-obedient are those in which we all have clear that they are serious, that is, I do not plagiarize, for example.
But let's see what I wanted to say. In the other thread I asked something like this:
Let me see if I understand the system you are trying to sell. Is it a system to set up a casino or is it a system to make money in the casino?
If in my next post I would have posted a reply in the original thread, just like that. Isn't that a duplicate post? I reported the other thread and hoped they would delete it, but maybe they wouldn't have, and here I think LoyceV's advice doesn't fit because the second post would look something like this.

I guess to avoid duplication I could add at the beginning, "As I said in the other thread, which I have reported and I hope it will be deleted..."
The thing is, as I say, I don't think it has much importance. It is not a situation in which people usually find themselves, and I think that the most that can happen to you is that they delete the duplicate post.
I will leave the thread open a little more before locking it.
