What do people think of deleting an ignored HN submission and re-submitting in the hopes of triggering lots of voting the second (or third) time around?
I've thought of doing it once or twice but came to the conclusion that it would be kinda unethical. Is it standard practice?
I don't mean to specifically bash coderdude but he mentioned it in his blog post so it made me think to ask.

With that in mind I didn't feel bad about deleting a failed submission after 30 minutes of no attention and trying again at a later time in the day.
