How, out of curiosity, would one go about checking whether the article has already been posted a hundred times?

  It has had a fair few mentions on this site: http://www.google.ca/search?q=www.jwz.org%2Fdoc%2Fgroupware.html+site%3Anews.ycombinator.com http://www.google.ca/search?q=www.jwz.org%2Fdoc%2Fgroupware.... Some filtering or a more refined search might give the actual (much smaller) number of posts.

    I only see one actual post, some 875 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37824 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37824

  You can use this site: http://searchyc.com/ http://searchyc.com/

    if HN cares that much about not re-posting, HN should make it easier to check. A lot of people don't even know about searchyc. Can't a URL check against searchyc for a high percentage match and give an intermediate "are you sure you want to post this?"

  Another way is to lurk for a few months before posting.
