Open the post you would like to delete, but can't. Select 'Edit' at the bottom of the post. On the edit screen, delete everything and enter the words 'Duplicate Post'. Your intent will be understood.

It might be considered impolite to do this with a post that has responses. Any edit leaves the possibility that someone else's post might end up looking kind of silly.

Click on the little yellow triangle and report it, explaining the situation, and a mod will take care of it.

This would be correct. If you get bitten by the lag fiend that hides in the servers every now and then, duplicate posts and threads do occur. Just report one of them as a duplicate and one of the staff will take care of it for ya. :)
