I was finally forced to add a check that there wasn't already an
identical record (using a minimum comparison set of fields) before
inserting the record. There really isn't any way to prevent dingbats
from refreshing, so... I CYA by emailing a copy of the record/element
values to myself when I refuse to add it in, but I havne't had any
spurious refusals so far.
