If that's true, then I think we can take it to mean pg really doesn't care about reposts. Whether the HN culture as a whole dislikes reposts is another matter

If that's true, then I think we can take it to mean pg really doesn't care about reposts. Whether the HN culture as a whole dislikes reposts is another matter (in my experience it does not) but it does take one argument away from the people who think reposts are contrary to what we do around here.
