Well I have quite a bit of trouble believing that two posts, with different authors and different names would generate the same MD5. I suppose its possible but I guess the post would have to be very very long indeed. I seriously doubt that its possible to get the same MD5 from different data when the data is small, especially as small as a post would be. But then I dont know the full workings of MD5...

Of course however, the extra check is cheap so why not...
