Maybe I wasn't clear enough! I meant HN posts are temporary; they get out of the spotlight in a manner of hours (or a couple days). Plus, HN doesn't allow replying on comments of older posts.
- beauHD 4y agoAh gotcha. Well sometimes posts re-surface after many years as HN allows for that. I've often posted something that was on HN ten years ago, and have a whole new discussion, even if the URL hasn't changed! Some posts are given a second chance and are not deemed a 'dupe'.
