  Ok, since that one was posted earlier I've moved the comments thither. Thanks! (Sorry runeks. We're going to have karma sharing in the future for cases like this.)

    Why share the karma? They submitted a dupe -- if anything, it should have redirected to the already posted one...12+ hrs is a long time. (I understand it's a delicate dance between surfacing unnoticed posts and OC)

      We do that for the first 8 hours. After that we only redirect if the earlier post got significant attention. The trick, as you say, is to find a balance that gives good stories multiple cracks at the bat—it's much worse to miss out on a good story than it is to have a few reposts.
