  Due to the highly temporal nature of HN, I don't think reposts should be punished, especially if the repost window is a year. I'm not sure if that's what you're trying to do, or if you're just trying to link to the old threads. If the latter, please carry on.

  The newest of those is past the commenting period. That means any discussion on this can't take place there, so you are either advocating that no one else, particularly new people, has anything valid to say, or your are advocating that we should cater specifically to you. Since neither of these make a lick of sense, what value do you think you are adding?

    That's an unusually hostile response to a list of links. Perhaps the value is "If you're interested in LFS you may be interested in the previous discussion. Here it is for you, in nice clickable form".

    I can't speak for esolyt, but he added value for ME as an avid Linux user who's never compiled from source and is eager to get his hands dirty. After I'm done writing this comment I'm going to visit those threads and comb the comments of those threads for information. No need to be hostile about a link list.

    The two comments that frame this as an over-reaction to a helpful list of links have a valid point. But, for what it's worth, my first read of esolyt's post was that it was a terse reprimand for reposting, and in that mindset I definitely appreciated your reply. I'm pretty sure that in another time and place (perhaps reddit, several years back) I too would have presumed that esolyt had a friendly intent. I wonder if I've stopped giving the benefit of the doubt in general, or if my perception of the vibe in certain comment threads is darker.
