- scott_w 1y agoIt's likely a bug on HN's side that either caused the comment to get posted twice, or for the parent to think it hadn't posted and retry.

- tomhow 1y agoYeah it's a manual process for us to go through and figure out which comments have been duplicated and should be left un-merged. Hard to get right, especially in a fast-moving story with many submissions.
