Three comments now pointing this out. I guess I'm still kind of new here, so I didn't know submitting the exact canonical URL was so valued. The main reason was that I noticed that the comments had been shuffled in a redesign, making the original threads harder to read (other reply [0]).
I do see now how unnecessary Wayback links make it harder to find previous/dupe submissions. Though, Wayback links that are out of necessity aren't uncommon on HN; another case for more advanced URL deduping?
