Bounced. (Yes, it was just one which you both discarded.)

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Is that some sort of glitch? I've seen this before on the Launches page, with one ykttw being launched multiple times, whether to articles or discard; though in those cases it's usually the same person launching it over and over again. Like near the top of the list right now, enjus has discarded Queued Up Clock Radio three times in a row.

That is frequently observed. It's either a glitch, two people discarding simultaneously or someone "keeps pressing" in the event of a lag.

The discard button doesn't go away when you discard a draft, so people often press it again thinking it hasn't been done yet. It's not meant to work like that but it's not a big issue.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
