  It was posted as a direct answer to a question that came up recently. The example of reposting links that have been posted before I learned from another HN participant who opened up a "new" thread just yesterday. Some eyeballs never reach the bottom of the page. But, yes, if I were to post about your metaissue on the Feature Requests thread http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363 (which is perhaps an even more rarely noticed link at the bottom of the page), I might suggest some way to periodically "bump" threads of high reference value such as that thread itself or the page (re)submitted in this thread, as is possible on sites on which recency of last post is the primary criterion for moving threads to the top of the main page. Lacking that interface feature here, another user discovered a work-around for drawing attention to classic webpages of likely interest to new HN readers, and I noticed that the page submitted here would also likely be of interest. Have a happy New Year.
