For what it is worth I've been an HN member nearly four years and I've never seen this before. I enjoyed it and up voted. I don't think reposts are necessarily a bad thing because there is always going to be new members who have not seen the item yet, or old members who were "in the zone" coding instead of wasting time browsing HN on the day the item was last posted.
