- gus_massa 7y agoThis happens all the time. It's usual to link to the old post when it had a lot of attention. (The thresholds is not clear. 20 upvotes? 20 comments? 20 upvotes + comments? 40? ...) An exception is when the older post has a very good comment. And in those cases I sometimes quote the comment partially.
