The codex is pretty clear nowadays:

Article 20 - Definition of Publication

(1) Publication of a chess composition consists of communicating it to the
public, whether in permanent form (e.g. a document or a recording medium)
or transient form (e.g. on a demonstration board or through an electronic
medium).

(2) For the purposes of this Article, "communicating to the public" means
enabling an unrestricted number of people to have the opportunity of
access to a chess composition by

    (a) presenting it in permanent form, or
    (b) showing or using it in a lecture or solving tournament which falls
within the categories listed in Annex I, or
    (c) showing it in transient form through a generally accessible medium
(e.g. an electronic network). [22].

[22] Including the Internet and electronic mailing lists, but not e-mail.

France-echecs.com is a publicly accessible medium, so posting a diagram
there consists of publication. How many people will see it there is
irrelevant.

I don't know if in 2004 this article was present, so at that time there
may not have been a double publication.
