>... when you surely knew... What makes you so confident? The discussion in the original post was for a TechCrunch URL, not the FCC url used here, so HN wasn't going to flag the dupe when OP posted this. Not only that, but the thread for the TechCrunch article is currently post #98, all the way back on page four[1] at the time of this comment. HN doesn't have a search feature either. This[2] is all one needs to do, rather than wasn't energy chastising someone based on an assumption. Edit: What an odd account. It looks like this user, by and large, just points out duplicate threads, rather than diving into discussions.

Not odd, recently pointing out dupes because they have been getting out of control lately.... The TechCrunch article is way down page 4 at time of comment because it's old news already! Want to talk about it? Great! Go there! The point of the dupe calling out is to stop conversations from repeating and being split up across multiple threads. When the discussion consolidates around one thread (whether it's the official post or not) that's where it should stay. OP could share the post and then comment with a link to the main discussion thread. Guessing the OP was up on the story because of an earlier post about the FCC thing a day or so ago. HN doesn't have a search? what are you talking about? The HN search powered by Algolia is excellent. Bottom of the site.

  You need a different hobby. There's no junior mod award. I was under the impression this was account was a bot.

  >Want to talk about it? Great! Go there! No point in giving someone grief for not noticing something that they have to go digging for and might miss along the way. >The point of the dupe calling out... I know what the point is, but there's a better way to do it - in fact, I linked to an example of someone doing just that. Your comment goes above and beyond that in a negative way and doesn't "assume good faith"[1]. >HN doesn't have a search? what are you talking about? The HN search powered by Algolia is excellent. Bottom of the site. I've been here long enough and have never noticed it, so I'll again give OP a pass there, too. I think you need to find something better to do with your time. The fact that you do this so often and that you've escalated to attacking someone for it demonstrates that you might be letting duplicate posts on an internet forum bother you just a bit too much.
