What are they hoping will happen? Also, in case one of writelatex folks reads this- HN now automatically gives many articles a "second chance" by surfacing articles again on /newest, so there shouldn't be a need to keep resubmitting the same article with a slightly adjusted URL.

Hi there, thanks for the info about resubmissions. I didn't know it was discouraged. My karma keeps increasing when I resubmit this, so I took that to mean that I should keep doing it. My last submission was with a new title based on feedback in that discussion thread (that CTO was misleading). Also, can you clarify how you got to 6? Two of those links are the same, and one of them does not seem to work. Also, it seems from the comments that github pages (where this is hosted) was down while this was on newest, which seems like pretty bad luck. At least now I know that it may get a second chance without me having to do anything, thanks!
