  please don't point out empty discussions without upvotes as duplicates, unless there are tons of those recently. Reposts are explicitly allowed on HN under these circumstances.

    At the time that I wrote that this was an empty discussion too. You should bear in mind when things are written.

      I don't see how that makes the reference more useful. (I see two purposes for linking to other submissions: point out duplicates that mean the current discussion should be marked dupe (post the link and flag = [dupe] if it's the first comment, otherwise mods add it later), or point other commenters to old but maybe still interesting discussions. Neither case applies when pointing to empty discussions)
