Actually, there's some number of items that are new enough that they're dupes, but after a certain period, they can be resubmitted.

- larrys 13y agoDo you know the thinking behind that? (Or what the time length is?)
- randall 13y agoPG commented on it forever ago. The thinking (if I can speculate) probably is that if an item was submitted that didn't make it to the homepage, but it gets resubmitted a year later and does make it, it's worth everyone seeing it again. Or, it could just be too annoying for the less-than-part-time maintainers of HN to keep the blacklist past 10,000 items or something. Speculate on. :)
