Already really often times submitted. Last time was (I believe) 24 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=ibiblio.org https://news.ycombinator.com/fr

  I love this every time I see it. Newcomers may not have seen it so reposting doesn't seem a problem. And 24 days ago it was totally ignored in the new submission lottery, so again reposting doesn't seem a problem.

    It was my first time reading about it; it was fantastic.

      If you haven't read it before, there's also "The Story of Mel" which is quite a bit older (1983) but is also a very fun read. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html

    Yeah, I'll never not upvote this one.

  I actually looked up this story myself yesterday, because it was mentioned by the top comment of this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14672174 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14672174 I wonder if the current OP posted it for the same reason.

    Yep! Hadn't seen it before and bet a few others probably wouldn't have either.

      That can be said about any hn story.

  It is a rather popular story, indeed: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20case%20of%20the%20500-mile%20email&sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=story&storyText=false&prefix&page=0 https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20case%20of%20the%20500-mi...
