  While it sucks that you posted this and it didn't end up frontpaged (we all love karma), there's no good reason to link it here. When a dupe happens, threads are linked not to 'give credit' or something like that, but to show people conversations that they missed around the topic; in this case, there are none.

    To be honest, I don't mind the karma much (as you can see, I don't have much, don't comment or post much, and mostly lurk around here). I only was curious that it didn't get any attention when I posted it yesterday, and I was wondering why (Time of posting? People don't care about Alan Cox? Was there some obvious joke or prank that I was missing?). I'd seen old-thread links posted before, so I thought this was a standard thing to do. But your point (of linking only to relevant discussion) makes perfect sense. Thanks :)
