No, sorry, there isn't. The problem is, there is no way to "unping"
topic exchange and so topics can't go away from posts, as the topic
status only lists what topics you ever pinged for this post.

And there is no way to prevent duplicates, as Topic Exchange doesn't
keep track of postings with some kind of ID or other means.
TopicExchangeTool is just a handy shortcut for what otherwise would be
done by Trackbacks, so allmost all problems of Trackbacks exist with
Topic Exchange, too.

Trackbacks can't be taken back and there is no duplicate checking, same
as with Topic Exchange.

bye, Georg
