Multiple same price reports don't really hurt anything, but may help to provide confidence that a price is valid.

The latest reported price is always listed via the "Gas Docks" menu selection, and makes an assumption (right or wrong) that the most recently reported price is the one of interest.

But the running price history is shown the "Price History" menu selection.

Sometimes an errant price is just a typo, and usually is corrected, either by the original person or by another user in a short amount of time. WinniGas (like most web software, such as this forum, etc.) does record the IP address of a user and can be used if a problem crops up.

This is not a perfect system, but it has been working for several years. I'm happy to accept any and all suggestions for consideration for improvements.

Edited to add:
Crazy errant prices can now be easily removed.
