Not everyone has read everything that's ever been posted to HN. There's some utility in reposting, which I think is evident based on how many upvotes this has gotten. I'd never seen this and I'm here almost every day. If you've already seen this, and aren't interested in another look then just move on.

    Not your fault—it's a common misunderstanding! Sometimes I add language like this: > (Reposts are fine after a year or so; links to past threads are just to satisfy extra-curious readers) but that's too tedious to do routinely.
