- kleiba 14y agoI wouldn't really say that it bothers me. I posted the link to the above discussion because I think if someone comes to the comment section they might be interested in it. But it certainly wouldn't hurt to do a quick HN search before posting a new submission.

I've been saying it literally for years, and I can tell you now, it won't happen. I implemented the first-phase of a semi-automated duplicate detector to help people find previous submissions, and I got hate mail for it. Some people are actively against duplicate detection.
