If someone is running such a bot, I'd rather it be you than anyone else (you're probably one of the bigger assets to HN as a community, because you submit often and submit lots of great material). But I think essentially the act of doing so is useless, it just takes up screen space. I notice HN includes a system that prevents one from re-submitting things for a certain frame of time -- that is good enough. If there's a good reason to re-link old discussions, someone will probably take the initiative to do so.
