Linc,
You might notice that in Moodle, in a forum, and in a topic, that you only need to make one post. I am not sure if you are thinking that you needed to post your idea to different people, or if you made a simple mistake posting three times. I actually got all three of your posts via email, and of course, two were redundant. Everyone who has subscribed to this topic will see it.
Now, if you were into other forums and topics elsewhere in Moodle.org, doing some redundant posts might be appropriate, depending upon your posts.
As you use Moodle more and more, you will better understand its behavior, and you will appreciate its features.
