Yes, but if you're trying to get around the duplicate detector, you can usually just append a query string like '?2'. Or, if the server tries to interpret query strings and that would be bad, it'd be friendlier to the read to instead use a non-existent div like '#2'. Bypasses the duplicate detector, specifies how many resubmissions, and doesn't jump the reader somewhere in the article. (Although I should note that I think the one OP chose is one of the two best ones, so no real harm done.)
