HN has a built-in duplication checker that automatically redirects to the most recent submission of an article within a certain time. If it isn't working properly then Dan would update it, or mark as [Dupe] let the community member know to stop. Having new conversations about old topics is a normal part of communication between humans. Search shows this article is posted on average once per year which is hardly beating a dead horse on old exhausted discussions. I'm sensing there are reasons beneath the surface of why this is affecting you so deeply.
