 * With a multi-people managed blog,I have to check is there a same [topic] post
   has posted. [topic] is a key saved as a post meta in database. Question is:(the
   question based on admin post, front-end post i can check before insert)
 * 1,Which hook should I use,before insert happen(now I use save_post just after
   insert happen)
    2,In the hook I can detect the duplicate post,can I just interrupt
   the post action and just throw up a notification? 3,If I can’t interrupt the 
   post action,can I show some alert message to the poster?
