This comment feels like its one step away from just being the word "repost". I really like browsing reddit but please leave these types of comments there. Hacker News is not reddit.
- Selfcommit 14y agoYeah, I don't understand the down votes honestly. We've seen this - not just a few months ago. Why is it ok to post again? Should I have provided the HN link?
- AndrewDucker 14y agoIt's more that your comment didn't add anything to the conversation. If you'd said "You can find the previous conversation at XXX" then you'd be contributing. As it is you just added noise.
- MichaelApproved 14y agoThanks for elaborating for me. The key point is adding to the conversation. Novelty accounts tend to be the realm of Reddit but one of my favorites is the one that says "Anyone looking for more information..." and goes on to list past posts of a link. That's infinitely better than simply "Repost"
