Items duplicate in the "By Time" tab of Lists - 22 views

  Dear Diigo developers,
  
  Thank-you for your work. So far, I have been very pleased with Diigo.
  Until I began using Lists.
  
  One of my favourite things about Diigo is that I never end up bookmarking the same site twice. If I have already bookmarked it, then this is shown on the Diigolet.
  
  So I am extremely disappointed to find that, unlike the rest of the Diigo system, the Lists do not safeguard against having MULTIPLE COPIES of the SAME ITEM. When you add the same bookmark to a List twice, the List's item count goes up (eg. "Showing 1 of 1" - > "Showing 1 of 2"). And although that bookmark is shown only once under the "By Position" tab, it is shown multiple times under the "By Time" tab (once for each time you accidentally added it to that list)!
  
  What is the purpose of this?! I certainly can think of none. For people such as myself, who use lists as a sort of "ordered checklist of sites to visit" on a given occasion, it does not help me make efficient use of my time - it WASTES it! I end up going to the same page twice, thrice, ... several times! Also, it causes the item count on my lists to grow incredibly daunting - even when I actually end up having few items. This makes me misjudge the amount of time needed, and affects my overall time-management! I would be very relieved and grateful for this bug/error to be fixed as soon as possible.
  
  Thank-you.
  
  P.S.
  It is also extremely inconvenient (and slightly worrying) that the users' only means of (perchance!) reaching you is through the Community Forum. I searched the entire site and was not able to find a single e-mail address for "User Support", "Helpline" or anything to that effect (instead, I found an info-email for people interested in partnerships, investment, and licensing). A more direct line of communication would benefit not only the users and the community, but also the developers and the program.
