I don't know of PG banning a script. He never banned mine, but I never let mine run uncontrolled.
But no, I'm doing this "by hand" now. My memory makes it easy to spot duplicates, my work flow makes it fast to create the text.
When I care. I'm starting to care less, and letting lots of repeats, duplicates and re-hashes go unremarked. For example, suddenly there are lotsof items about networking. They should all be tied together, but I really can't be bothered.
HN is potentially a brilliant resource, but it's being squandered. Saddens me a little, but having been mauled for experimenting with a way that might have improved it, I'm reluctant to bother again.

However, when you want to recall any of it, it's too late since it's already in some landfill somewhere. I think it is up to the community to create pages outside HN that compile the information and take it one step further. After all, it needs to provide additional value to those who have already read the articles individually.

- gbhn 16y agoHow about an "hntopics.com" site where you collect these duplicates? Something merging comment threads would be interesting, but even just "here are wikileaks articles that have made it to the front page" kind of organization with links would be really interesting. Annotating the threads with links would be useful, but perhaps that's overstepping a boundary?
