    Well the only way to avoid duplicate stories would be to have some sort of way to, via some sort of computer automation, examine old stories and see if they had certain key words in common, some sort of "search engine" to coin a phrase. Obviously that would be impossible at our current level of technology, but one can hope for the future.
