Yes. And some times you guys merge them and the original submitter gets the credit. And some times you just kill the dupes. I was just pointing out that previous thread like so many people do every day here. I wasn't being a dick about it. No need to flog me for it. But what ever. HN has its finicky moments.


I certainly didn't mean to flog you! Was just trying to clarify what sorts of reposts we allow vs. kill as dupes. Merging wasn't an option in this case because the prior submission was too old to make the front page.


Thnx. You were not the flogger. I was referring to the handfull of people that were so pissed about my post they needed to downvote it to nothingness.
