    Didn't know that! I always search for links before submitting and many times I've seen a previous submission with little to no traction (and then subsequently not posted it to avoid dupes).

      Thanks for searching first! If it's a good article and hasn't had attention yet, we certainly hope you will post it - that's why we allow reposts, to give good articles multiple cracks at the bat.
