- randycupertino 11y agoWhy isn't HN more proactive about removing duplicate posts? The reposting here seems very excessive.

- DrScump 11y agoAvoiding dupes is simple. The Search feature works fine (pick an uncommon keyword from title, and search). Or, even after submitting, one can click the "Past" link on his/her own submit to check for purely identical title and link and then delete the dupe if they choose. But, as with your dupe of the Fine Brothers story, people choose not to.
