- Chinjut 7y agoTo save you a click, what @dang says in the first link is: Please don't copy/paste comments on HN. It lowers the signal/noise ratio and makes for pain when we go to merge duplicate threads. If you want to refer to something you posted elsewhere, please use a link. Better still, when you see a split discussion, email hn@ycombinator.com so we can merge them. We'll make sure your comment ends up in the winning thread. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

- thinkloop 7y ago> makes for pain when we go to merge duplicate threads This was interesting. Would it only be an issue if the copied comment was a root comment of the article? Otherwise the copied comment would be under a different branch without possibility of collision with the copy under a different branch. If that the case?
