By design Fox does not replace content on an existing page.
It either appends or prepends a new post to a target page,
using the target=PageName parameter.

This is done to prevent overwriting existing pages, for security
reason (which is what you want to do).

Maybe such capacity should be added to Fox?
How would one handle possible misuse?
