Just MHO, but that "reflection" seems to be a security risk to me; a fancier
forwarder.  That doesn't really account for why the post wasn't caught as a
duplicate, why the moderater approved postings came through again without
approval, and why many users got a "daily threshold exceeded" error, when in
fact that didn't occur.
